This site is a large sandbar on the southwest end of Lake Winnisquam, just north of the Route 3 Bridge. You can access this site by boat with easy anchorage. It is diveable May through October most years.

Winnisquam is about 10.5 miles long by 1.5 miles wide and has a shoreline of approximately 28.2 miles. There are five islands: Pot, Three, Hog, Loon, and Mohawk.

Ahern State Park is a 128-acre state-protected area in Laconia on Lake Winnisquam in New Hampshire’s Lakes Region. It is open year-round and offers diving, hiking, non-motorized boating, biking, and fishing. Drive all the way down the road to the beach area to park.

This lake can be best accessed via the Public Boat Launch at 10 Hancock Road in Pittsfield, MA. Recreational boating is popular during the summer so diving safely can be difficult during peak times. Plan to dive early or late in the day and avoid weekend if possible.

This great pond is a Berkshire County treasure!! It has limited non-native invasive aquatic plant species, so care should be taken to avoid cross-contamination of organic material. Decontaminating or disinfecting all water crafts, water toys, snorkeling, and Scuba equipment should be done before your adventures.

To access this dive site, from the fishing pier, dive to 10 ft/3 m. Turn to your left (south), maintaining your position at 10 ft/3 m for approx 10-20 kicks to find two logs located together. You may see 3-5 large boulders on your way. These logs (50 foot/15 m trees) will bring you to Classroom Rock.

Just 60ft off Graves Island, the remains of the USS New Hampshire lies in 25-35 ft of water. Accessible by boat, this easy dive is an opportunity to see the last remaining timbers of the once magnificent ship of the line burried in the sandy botto.

Parking here is easy, but the entry can be challenging due to large and erratic swells and conditions that can change relatively quickly. That being said, if you are an experienced diver, getting underwater here is well worth it.

A 1/4 mile walk through the oakwood reveals a series of granite ledges dropping into the sea. The entry/exit is the cut in front of the path. A giant stride can be used for entry on the west side of the cut. Exists can be challenging due to surge.

While parking is limited, Lanes Cove provides an interesting dive that is popular among kayakers, snorkelers, and divers alike. Remember this is an active cove, so watch out for boat traffic.
