Why dive here
With 35+ marine species recorded in the area - including nurse sharks - Oregon offers some of New England's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 4-19°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Oregon wreck in New England offers a challenging dive, often with strong currents and limited visibility. It’s a rewarding site for experienced wreck divers comfortable in low-light conditions. Expect to explore significant structural elements and potentially encounter resident fish, like cod and cunner, making their home in the wreckage. This isn't a beginner's spot, but for those with the right skills, it's a piece of maritime history to explore.
