La Barque
Why dive here
With 35+ marine species recorded in the area - including nurse sharks - La Barque offers some of New England's richest reef diving. Water ranges 4-19°C, warmest July, August, September.
Spider Reef, in the Great Lakes, offers a unique opportunity to dive a freshwater reef system. While it's not a coral reef in the tropical sense, you'll encounter species like lake whitefish, burbot, and various suckers navigating the rocky structures. We often spot sea lamprey here, a fascinating if sometimes unsettling sight. This site is best for divers interested in freshwater ecology and the distinct species found in the Great Lakes.
Safety Notes
Cold water this month (avg 15°C). Drysuit or thick wetsuit (7mm+) recommended.
