    The USS New Hampshire wreck sits in just 9 meters of water, making it a good spot for newer divers or those looking for a shallow second dive. What's left of the old battleship’s wooden hull is quite broken up, but you can still make out sections and scattered debris. It’s covered in barnacles and mussels, and you’ll often find lobsters tucked into the crevices, along with cunner and sculpins darting about. This site is more about history and ease of access than dramatic structure.
