Joe George from COJO Diving (Fredericton, NB) dives at Deer Island a bunch. Every once and while a group of us will head up to Eastport from Bar Harbor. Joe

Hi David... There is a group of us that are divers in the Bar Harbor area. We have 4 DM's in our club and 1 instructor. You should reach out to Diver Ed (207) 288-3483. http://divered.com Eddie is a good guy and a PADI instructor. Our dive club usually takes a dive trip every other year. Joe

Looks like a Northern Red Sea Anemone. Dahlia anemone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sad news indeed, though a beautiful spot to dive.

I would wager Diver Ed may be running dive charters those Sundays while you are here. He typically does a Sunday dive charter through the summer. Check out our website The League of Underwater Superheroes - Home. This is our local dive club based in Bar Harbor. Cheers! Joe

Yes! Having the recreational licenses has been a blast. Though the changes over the past several years make it harder to find them. Last year Blue Hill Bay was crazy with draggers, so it was almost too dangerous to dive.

Maine Divers Scuba Center or Aqua Diving Academy are the 2 places I know of in the Portland Area. You may be able to find a local instructor too.

We dive all year round... though the fall is a great time as Eddie's schedule frees up dramatically! Joe

That was me that would have added you then as I am the primary admin for that group. If you get up this way Eddie almost always runs a Sunday 2 tank dive charter off of his boat.

Sinbad... this is Diver Ed's busy season up here. Call 207-288-3483 and leave him a message. They will get back to you about dive charters and such. I can put a bug in his ear as well. You make our dive club seem like slackers! Joe

Diver Ed is teaching a PADI Self-Reliant Diver (solo) courses in Bar Harbor. A lot of us dive solo when we scallop dive in the winter and as far as I know there are no rules againist it.

FYI... Maine scallop season usually runs from Decemeber to April. So the season is now closed. I can tell you as a recreational diver, you'll need a license from the DMR and can only take half a gallon per day (2 quart bags). Last season was rough as most of the areas were closed.

And if you are ever in the Bar Harbor area, you can check out the League of Underwater Superheroes. We do weekly dive charters through the summer. Contact Diver Ed at 207-288-DIVE. We do a lot of stuff with COJO Diving out of Fredericton.

Sinbad, The League of Underwater Superheroes is heading to Eastport this weekend. I am not able to make since I hurt my back two weeks ago. No diving for me until March now... per the Doctor. Joe Eastport Dive Trip THIS SATURDAY 4 am - Leave Bar Harbor 7...

COJO diving is up there a lot more frequently than us. If you are on Facebook you should friend Joe George from COJO... he sends out event notifications as to when and where they will be diving up that way. COJO Diving's also has a Facebook page. Our next trip probably will not be until...

I'd be up for meeting in Eastport. Our dive club, The League of Underwater Superheroes makes a few trips per year to Eastport. COJO Diving out of Fredericton comes over to Eastport as well. They also dive Deer Island on the Canadian side. There is so many awesome things to see up that way...

And I will say the seal diving at Mount Desert Rock was better than our trip to Isle of Shoals in NH.

The other wrecked steamers are around the point from the Twilight.

gbirch has it right... Diver Ed is currently running Sunday dive charters. We just did dives out at Egg Rock Lighthouse this past week. Eastport has some amazing diving as well. Cheers! Joe

That is weird... I once found a large Pelican box on the bottom in 40' water when I was scallop diving off of Mount Desert Island. When we finally got it back on the boat there was much excitement... Pelican Box=waterproof. When we opened it all that was in there was a big granite rock. So...
