Woods Hole Meet Up? Photos

Today I checked out Garbage Beach at woods hole, free parking 6am to 8am then after 8am credit card only no coins. Clear water, lots of little fish, pier hasn't got a lot of boats around garbage beach area, so hoping to get there for early dive or even snorkel.

Why is it called a garbage beach?

So glad you asked! Since Woods Hole has had a marina for eons, divers have found antique clay pipes, old apothecary bottles, and old items generally. It is NOT named for modern trash.

I was only in the water here once two years ago, so I am no expert. In fact the reason that I posted “meetup” was to see if any other expert would lead a group and advise. There are piers, fishing, boats, lots of boats, it’s near a marina which makes that a bit concerning. I was alone today, and not a solo diver, so hoping there are others willing to get up early and go before Woods Hole gets busy? By myself, I might snorkel, but even that can get dicey if there is lost fishing line.

Don't forget ferries and about 4 knots of current if you somehow strayed closer to the actual hole.

Falmouth Mass, on the cape, just over the bridge and to the south.

I went back to Woods Hole to do a weight check and scuba dive with my newest gear arrangement. Diving is easy and plenty of critters. Easiest dive site, just a long drive but worth it.
Anyone available this Saturday morning?

Bad timing, I just started dating someone in Syracuse NY, I'll be in the Saint Lawrence River on Saturday for some strange reason.
