Dive Eastport, ME!
Diving in Eastport, ME
My husband and I recently returned from a 2nd dive trip to Eastport, ME. The underwater environment
is like no other in New England--scores of Northern Red anemones, scallops everywhere (and they swim!),
montague shrimp, wolf fish, sea raven, sculpin, spiny sea stars, smooth sea stars, sea urchins galore, and so
much more! The diving is very challenging, currents can be 2-1/2 knots at slack--which is the only time you
can dive Eastport. Mental note: never try to figure out slack tide during a full moon phase--you can't! We didn't hit the slack very well and had a few really tough dives. The experience of dealing with such strong currents was
well worth it. We had another good year, and we'll be going back next year for the 3rd time!
Next trip: 1000 Islands (St. Lawrence Seaway) and diving a revolutionary war wreck in Lake George.
