Around here, the best dive I have done was the U853.
If you are looking for shore dives, then Kings Beach would be one of the nicest so far, although I have only been there once. Went down to 40' from a shore dive was pretty good.

In terms of NE shore dives, Castle Hill in Newport. It is deep (150' ?) but it appears as almost a natural stairway with different life and different colors every 10' to 20'. I especially enjoy it as a night dive. One has to play the slack tides though as the currents and tides can get rather tricky!

The wreck of the City of Salisbury in the Boston Harbor, even when is no penetration is a very nice place with a wide range of depth, you can do it as shallow as 50' all the way to 97', Marine life is abudant, if you like to garb bugs this is a good spot for it, specially since is no many divers who come this place, is easy to find some keepers, you can see dog fishes exploring this wreck as well.
Bahamas was a very nice experience for me as well, i really enjoyed swiming with the gray reef sharks, it was very nice to see al this incredible animals around me and be able to share the same space, after that we did a dive where the sharks were hand feed, it was nice but no as nice as the one were they where just swimming free all over the place.
I can't leave Cancun out of the picture specially since is my home town, the temp and viz is incredible and is impossible to mention only one place down there because you have a wide range of diferent dive spots for any level or preference from the shallow dive in Manchones reef to the wall in Cozumel, to the wreck of the C-53 off the coast of Cancun and Jardines reef in Playa del Carmen.
Happy dives to every one.

Beach:
Cathedral Rocks and Folly Cove, both in Rockport. CR is drop dead gorgeous but it helps to be a billy goat to get to the waters edge. FC has a wonderful wall along the left edge of the cove, but your ankles may hate you in the morning. Normans Woe, great dive, bring a Sherpa along for the hike! Same goes for Halibut Point. (you might want to bring 2 Sherpa's along here.)
Boat dives:
1 Chester Poling. 2 Pinthus. 3 Mars. 4 Anywhere along the Cape Ann coast. 5 Pick a spot off Marshfield, drop an anchor and fill up a catch bag. 6 And my personal favorite, near to home stomping ground, High Pine Ledge off Duxbury Beach.
