About this dive site
This dive site is located in Long Island, New York, a region renowned as "Wreck Valley" due to its exceptional concentration of shipwrecks. The area boasts over 200 wrecks—both natural and artificial—including numerous historical vessels and submerged structures. Divers can explore a range of depths, from shallow sites like the Iberia (60-80 feet) and Lizzie D (a Prohibition era rum runner), to deeper adventures featuring the USS San Diego (110 feet), SS Oregon (140 feet), the SS Andrea Doria (270 feet), and the U851 (150 feet). Furthermore, the New York Department of Environmental Conservation has created several artificial reefs using remnants from projects like the deconstructed Tappan Zee Bridge, subway cars, and various tugboats—such as Dauntless and Mandy Ray. These diverse dive locations provide a wealth of archaeological and marine environments for exploration. Visibility can vary depending on conditions. This location is ideal for experienced divers looking for challenging and rewarding dives.
