Three Old Boats
Why dive here
With 35+ marine species recorded in the area - including nurse sharks - Three Old Boats offers some of New England's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 4-19°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Three Old Boats site in New England offers a glimpse into the region’s maritime past, a trio of fishing vessels now resting on the seabed. We’ve found that even though they’re not huge, these wrecks are a magnet for local marine life. You’ll often spot cunner and tautog darting through the rusted hulls, and sometimes a lobster or two tucked into the crevices. For divers who appreciate historical wrecks and the way they become artificial reefs, it’s a solid dive, especially if you’re keen on photography without needing massive coral formations. It’s a good spot for a relaxed exploration, not too deep, and usually offers decent visibility.
