    Seal Cove and Mingo Rock, off the New England coast, offer a solid rocky dive. You’ll navigate a series of ledges and boulders, looking for lobsters tucked into crevices and the occasional sculpin camouflaged on the rocks. It’s a good spot for divers who appreciate temperate water marine life and don't mind a chillier dive. Visibility here can swing, but on a good day, it’s a pleasant exploration for local divers.
