Dutch Springs
Why dive here
With 35+ marine species recorded in the area - including nurse sharks - Dutch Springs offers some of New England's richest diving. Water ranges 4-19°C, warmest July, August, September.
Dutch Springs, a former quarry, offers a unique freshwater diving experience in New England. Expect to navigate submerged aircraft, school buses, and various training platforms. Visibility can vary, but we often spot Slimy Sculpin and Banded Killifish darting amongst the structures. It's a fantastic spot for skill development and local training, especially if you're working on buoyancy or navigation.
