Why dive here
With 35+ marine species recorded in the area - including nurse sharks - Montauk Jettys offers some of New England's richest shore diving. Water ranges 4-19°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Montauk Jettys offer a different kind of dive in New England. Expect to navigate around barnacle-covered rocks and encounter a surprising amount of temperate marine life. We've seen tautog, cunner, and plenty of crabs tucked into crevices. It's a shallow, accessible shore dive, good for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed critter hunt without needing a boat.
