Here is a listing of shore & boat dives local to Southeastern, Connecticut & the surrounding area. Many members of the dive club have visited these sites. Find the site right for your experience, grab your gear and a buddy (perhaps from SECONN) and broaden your dive experience and enjoyment.
Location description: These are some of the dive trips organized by the SECONN Dive Club on an annual basis. These trips provide additional experience, social settings, family participation, and as always fun.
Dutch Springs is open for diving, swimming, and a fun time for all! The diving accommodations have been designed for the divers’ enjoyment at every level of certification. 97 acres, 47 acres of Spring-Fed water, 30 ft. visibility, depths to 100 feet.
Dive into the water and swim to the cage while surrounded by sharks. If this sounds interesting to you, join us aboard SNAPPA Fishing and Dive Charters out of Point Judith, RI and have an adventure. A short trip to our destination, Southeast of Block Island, and the chumming begins. After the sharks arrive it`s a back-roll and a 15 foot open water swim to the shark cage, where you can watch the sharks circling and feeding. Five to ten foot blue sharks are the most common with occasional visits by Mako, Bull, and a Great White.
Multiple annual club dives to Cape Ann, Massachusetts make this a common dive site among our members. At least once each season we plan a Triple Wreck Dive. Three dives are made in one boat trip. There are many wrecks to choose from and weather and group requests decide on which will be chosen for the day. The Chelsea, USS New Hampshire, and Haight are favorites, and the Chester Poling is always one of the three.
The Chester Poling is coastal tanker broke in half and sank in 1977. The stern rests in 90 feet of water, mostly intact. A great wreck diving training site.
The Chelsea is a small coastal tanker that sank in 65 feet of water. The bow is still intact, and a large wreckage field surrounds it.
The Haight is an old frigate that ran aground. It is a shallow dive, great for a third, off-gassing dive, or just to increase bottom time.
Dive with harbor seals at Boon Island with York Beach SCUBA.
A shallow water dive (10-20 feet) in medium visibility (15-35 feet) with harbor seals checking you out. It`s a short boat ride (about 15 minutes) to the seals. Good buoyancy control is necessary to handle the surge, and great buoyancy control will help achieve close encounters of the seal kind. Patience in the water will bring the seals to you, since even Mark Spits cannot swim after them. The more you look like a seal the closer they will get. Most people encounter at least one seal, and most get close enough to look them in the eye. Some of the more curious seals will tug on your fins, or nuzzle your equipment. Again, calm patience is the key to interpersonal meetings.
We`re getting a group togethr to blow off the winter and dive on wrecks & reefs. We had 10 divers last year and we all had a blast! This year we have over 13 divers signed up. With a group, we get better rates on the dive boats, we can pick the dive locations and we all dive with friends. Highlights will be the US Spiegel Grove, USCG Duane, USCG Bibb, Christ of the Deep, reefs, and a visit to the Keys.
