A good place to start is Donald Ferris's books.
I'm not that familiar with that area, but I know it's a little more in the stomping ground of msilvia. The Pinthis isn't that far from that area; it's off of Cohasset, and then there are some wrecks down around the canal area of the cape and out towards Barnstable. I've just not been able to convince my buddy to run much farther than the Longstreet off Orleans.

I haven't gotten very many dives in south of Scituate, but the Pinthis wreck is definately one I'd recommend. Ferris's books should help too. You might try a look at this site:

Search for "pinthis" and you'll find a few reports. Vis my first couple times on the wreck was great; 40+. Last time, about a month or so ago, was a little less but still pretty good for this area [20-25]. It has about 20 feet of relief or so. It's a definate "must see".
