Yokum Pond Public Boat Launch
Why dive here
With 35+ marine species recorded in the area - including nurse sharks - Yokum Pond Public Boat Launch offers some of New England's richest shore diving. Water ranges 4-19°C, warmest July, August, September.
Yokum Pond's public boat launch isn't going to blow your mind, but it’s a solid spot for getting wet and practicing skills. Think of it as your local, reliable swimming hole, just with dive gear. The max depth of three meters makes it perfect for open water training, or for new divers to get comfortable with buoyancy without any pressure. We often see folks working on mask clearing or regulator recovery here. You’ll find plenty of small freshwater fish darting through the weeds and along the silty bottom – nothing dramatic, but always a few sunfish and perch keeping you company. The visibility can vary, especially after rain, but on a good day, it’s clear enough to enjoy.
