The University of Connecticut and others have produced a fairly good site on LIS fauna: http://www.lisrc.uconn.edu/lis_uwtour/index.asp Despite living in Connecticut I do my diving farther north in Cape Ann and Downeast Maine.

Did a couple of dives over Thanksgiving weekend in Eastport, Maine at the old steamship pier site. Didn't dive on Thanksgiving proper and due to high winds skipped Friday too. Went down on both Saturday and Sunday though. The visibility was not so good at only 5' to 10' due to the high winds...

Traveled the 430 miles to our home in Lubec, Maine and did some dives off Eastport to collect some bottles. I got skunked for the most part on Friday although I did find an old green squat with an iron pontil. Unfortunately about 1/3 of the top was cracked off and since it had no lettering I...

Dove up in Eastport, Maine Friday, Saturday and Sunday and came away with some nice bottles. This first one is about 10 inches tall and heavy as sin, especially when filled with mud and stones. I believe it is a ginger beer bottle from the late 1800's. I found it on my second dive on Friday...

There's not only marine life to keep me interested in diving in Eastport, Maine but also some nice historical bottles and clay pipes if you know where and how to look. Here are a couple of the latest finds. This bottle comes from New Brunswick, Canada and as you can see has a round...

Spent the weekend diving off Eastport, Maine. Weather was great with day time highs between 70 and 75 degrees. Dove on both Saturday's and Sunday's low tides. Water temperature was a comfotable 42f and visibility ranged from 5' to 20'. Marine life continues to increase on the old steamship...

Looks like we'll be spending a week near Moncton/Shediac in early August. Does anyone have any diving suggestions for the area? I've looked through the "Diver's Guide" and have a few ideas but would be happy to hear any other suggestions not in the guide. I have no problem driving an hour or...

Had to do a quick trip to Lubec to check on the summer home as the contractors had finished putting on new siding. House looks great. Nice white vinyl siding for this guy who never wants to paint another house. After driving the 420 plus miles and inspecting the house I went over to Eastport...

Would there be any interest by divers in a diving event during the summer, either 2006 or 2007, in Eastport, Maine where noted UW photographers, dive industry personnel and marine science experts offered seminars and/or workshops along with some great diving experiences? I met UW...

The town of Perry Maine rejected the possibility of an LNG (liquified natural gas) facility which would have been located at the Pleasant Point Reservation of the Passamaquoddy tribe. The town of Perry has to approve any commercial development on a certain portion of reservation land. The vote...

Got a chance to head out to Folly Cove in Rockport/Gloucester, MA yesterday. Winds had been cooperative over the past day or so and with a predicted light south wind the cove would be pretty flat for the day. High tide was to be just after 11am so I arrived an hour before to get in two dives...

I just want to alert you to a threat that looms to the diving around Deer Island, New Brunswick. The Passamaquoddy tribe has entered in to an agreement to potentially build a liquified natural gas (LNG) facility in Gleason Cove on the Pleasent Point Reservation (US) just across from Deer...

Dove Woods Hole, MA today (2/1/04) and the water was a bit less than balmy. Actually it was only 29f. Now that's way too cold. Nice outside the water but man what a pain in the water. Reg went in to free flow after 10 minutes. When does spring arrive? DSDO Alan

Just returned from Bonaire and was lucky enough to get a number of shots of a frogfish near the dive site called "The Cliff" near Captain Don's. Nikonos V, 1:2 extension tube, YS-90 strobe, Fuji Velvia, A, ttl, f22. DSDO Alan

Happened to be watching the local dive program "Divers Down" and got just a bit ticked yesterday. The show was focusing on New England wreck diving and did a bit about diving the Pinthis. What pissed me off was the divers (supposedly extremely experienced ones at that) had their hands all over...
