    CharacterReef dive

    La Goélette, off the New England coast, is a reef site that often gets overlooked. We've found the visibility here can be hit-or-miss, but on a good day, you'll spot rock gunnels tucking into crevices and maybe a curious Atlantic wolfish. It's a solid dive for those in the area looking for a relaxed exploration rather than a high-octane drift. Expect cooler water, so bring a decent drysuit.

    Safety Notes

    Cold water this month (avg 15°C). Drysuit or thick wetsuit (7mm+) recommended.
