Why dive here
With 35+ marine species recorded in the area - including nurse sharks - Lloyd Neck offers some of New England's richest reef diving. Water ranges 4-19°C, warmest July, August, September.
Lloyd Neck is a shallow shore dive, mostly suitable for a relaxed local afternoon out. You’ll typically find a sandy bottom, with some scattered rocks and perhaps the occasional crab or flounder making an appearance. It’s a good spot for newer divers getting comfortable in cooler water, or for checking your gear after a long break. Visibility can be hit or miss, typical for the sound, but it’s rarely a strong current dive.
