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.

There are pieces of two wrecks at this site from the Empress and the Lively Lady.  There is also a diverse underwater landscape, as well.  We'd recommend a guide for your first visit here, as you will want to explore outside the cove and find the best places to search for 'treasure'.  The surge can be a problem here, so be careful with your entry and exit.

Located in scenic Kennebunk Port, this site is directly to the left of St. Ann's church.   Driving through Kennebunk Port on Rt. 9, turn South on Ocean Ave and drive for about 1.4 miles.  Turn right onto a small dirt road, where you'll find limited parking at the base of the cove.  There is also parking a bit further down the road.
