The State of Maine includes 3,500 miles of indescribably beautiful coastline, comprised of bays, coves and similar indentations.  Over 60 lighthouses dot the craggy shore including the Portland Head Light, which was commissioned by George Washington.  Wreck diving (many accessible from shore) is available at many locations.  Check your tide tables and enjoy!<br><br>We would like to thank the kind assistance of Mike Bridges for helping us prepare this section for Maine. He and his wife provided guided shore diving tours in Maine for many years, but have since moved to the warmer climate of Panama City, Florida where he continues to shore dive and teach classes

Divers will travel far and wide to find the best diving. But those who live in the United States have plenty of great diving on their doorstep as well, with plentiful access to the Atlantic Ocean, the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. From warm-water reefs to temperate seas, here are some of the top places to scuba dive in the United States.

For an advanced wreck diver, this is a great site.  The Wandby ran aground here in 1921, and has since been mostly scavenged for its metal.  Large and small pieces, however, are still around for investigation. We recommend you be guided through your first dive here, as the swim to the wreck can be challenging in even calm conditions.

Located in scenic Kennebunk Port, this site is on the other side of the super-secret compound of the Bush's summer home on Walkers point.   Driving through Kennebunk Port on Rt. 9, turn South on Ocean Ave and drive for about 2.3 miles.  Just past Walkers Point (you can't miss the to-die-for residences), is a small dirt turn-out on the right.
