Not sure I see the area where you folks are talking about. Can you show me on one of these maps? I am assuming the numbers are in feet and dont see any small "coves" that get to 50+ft. Of course it may not be "mapped".

Those maps are pretty cool. Where did you get them?
 
I know this area well and have dove where you are talking about a bunch.

On the first map, the little cove to the right of the * is the one in between the 2 restaurants, with the sea wall, and the one with the '9' is just to the right of the second restaurant, toward halibut. I have never entered there, but have dove there by swimming from folly or halibut a bunch of times - you are right it is pretty cool there, a bunch of huge slabs of rock. It seems that is a collection spot during a storm as well - I've seen hundreds of mangled lobster traps there amoungst the rocks, I don't know if it is still full as I have not been there for a while. It does get quite deep quite fast there as you have noted.

Be cautious of the house there if you are trying to enter - I have heard stories about them not being happy with divers trying to enter near the houses. Where did you enter?
 
Those maps come from maptech.com follow the links to the online maps and just punch in towns/places and then the state.

I entered from Halibut State Park.

Salisbury? Im from Rowley...

How old are you? We should dive sometime..
Also, I was speaking to a local, and the house you are talking about is a blue one with a huge porch right? I guess that guys name is Henry, and even if your swimming near a buoy for a significant amount of time, he'll call the cops on you ASAP..

Thats what i was told by a local (an angry one).. i was just snorkeling and was thought to be stealing lobster from traps..
