Hey all, I was wondering if anyone new of any underwater caves around the New England area. I've heard all about them, and seen them in documentaries and the like, and they sound like a blast!
Thanks!

There is an old marble quarry in Rutland, VT, but I think that's about it.

You would be better off posting this in the New England Lobster Divers forum (mods, could you move it?)

Correction: the quarry is in WEST RUTLAND, which is an entirely seperate municipality from RUTLAND.

I haven't heard of any cave systems in the New England area. If a smaller scale mini cave will satisfy your immediate needs I would head to Nahant. A shore dive site locally called the chimneys has two small caves you can get right into. Vis has been 30 feet lately at this site. It's a good dive with a nearby second dive called 40 steps. Both very worthy New England dives. Sid

There are numerous caves in New England, many of which have sump dives. The best ones are in New York.

No one is going to tell you where they are. Many of the good caves are on private property.

I recommend that you contact your local caving organization through this website:

National Speleological Society (NSS)
http://www.caves.org

Once you become a member in good standing, and demonstrate that you are properly trained, respectful of wildlife and careful in fragile cave environments, then you will be given access to the cave systems.

The best cave dive sites in New England are owned by the NSS.
