Pontoosuc Lake

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.

This lake can be accessed either from the Boat Launch at 55 Interlaken Road in Stockbridge, MA or Stockbridge Town Beach (must have town resident sticker to park at the beach in the summer season). Boat activity can be heavy during the summer so plan to dive early or late and avoid weekends 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.

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.
