Old Garden Beach - Excellent today!

[MAsharkDiver]

I just returned from two great dives at Old Garden Beach in Rockport, MA! Pretty nice dives..... there were plenty of bugs - I got one guy who was 1/2" over max.... just my luck! There were flounder on steroids (HUGE) and rock crabs on steriods (HUGE)... ocean pout, the perverbial cunner, sea raven and warm, warm water..... 59 degrees at 35 feet - and that was at LOW tide!

This is a great dive during the week, walk-in entry/exit and you can park on the street!

Happing Hunting!

It's agreat dive site, I must have 50dives there - easy entry, lots of bugs, you can see 50'+ there and I have found a scallop or 2 as well.

Weekday dives at OGB are my favorites on Cape Ann. I'm suprised you didn't see any stripers... although they're usually in close on the left.
