Hey Justin Welcome to Scubaboard!

Don't forget to leave someone capable of driving the boat in it.

Here are a few good resources for you. The first is a website and the other two are books written by Gary Gentile. I'm told the numbers are dead on and there are a lot of wrecks (at least in the North Shore book) my tech dive buddies never heard about.

Not a wreck site, but there's good diving around Smith Rocks and Collamore Ledge, if you have a boat.

Yes, Gary's numbers are as "dead on" as possible. But sometimes they can be off just a tad.

Does "Shipwrecks of Mass." have any spots around the scituate area?

There are some wrecks in the area, most notably the Pinthis (~100fsw). I believe it is 7 mi off scituate. This is a great wreck dive with an interesting history. Here is some info: http://www.northernatlanticdive.com - Pinthis

G. Gentile's books are a great resource for narrowing down your options. Good luck.

As mentioned, there is the Pinthis about 7 miles out between Scituate and Green Harbor.

A bit to the north of Scituate there is the Delaware.

Do-able by boat from Scituate, outside of Plymouth there is the Mars.

A bit further east of the Mars is the Colbrook.

I'm guessing at about 20 miles down (S.E.) the coast from Scituate there is the Henry Endicott.

About 11 miles to the N.E. in 165fsw there is the Southland.

On a good day, depending on your vessel, you could head east about 22 miles and be at the Josephine Marie.

Those are the wrecks in the book that a boat based in Scituate can readily access.

Dive Safe,
Dennis
