Hi jkjoshuatree,

Several earlier posts here have mentioned various spots such as the Belknap, the Witches, the Graveyard, and Moose/Ship Islands. Check them out. Explore other shallows such as Middle Ground Shoal, the Varney Islands area, and the rock pile between Ragged and Cow Islands. Remember to stay clear of regular navigation routes and bring your diver's flag!

Regarding Blueberry Island, I don't know its ownership, but it is perfectly legal for you to anchor and swim offshore. The "surface waters" of the State are public property. It is, however, NOT legal for you to tie up to shore, come out of the water onto the land, or anchor inside a swim line. I suggest that you be a good neighbor while anchored regarding loud noise, trash, etc.

Happy diving.
