Saturday Night Ledge

Anyone got any info on SNL? I've heard it's a great dive but not a lot out there about it.

SNL is one of my favorite boat dives. The mooring bottoms out at about 80fsw. A short swim takes you to a wall with an opening to one of the longest and most striking canyons out there. The canyon is roughly 6 to 8 feet wide and the walls rise up 20 to 60 feet above. the floor bottoms out at about 130fsw at high tide. It goes on forever.
You'll see large, interesting invertabrates and stars that you won't see at the shallower depths. The canyon makes navagatin easy as well. This is also one of my favorite night dives.

Wow, that sounds like a great dive. Got any numbers?

Thanks,

I have the numbers for SNL but not on me at the moment. It's an interesting dive but I prefer the canyon at Burnham's Ledge. The last post described Burnham's to a tee in fact. Nutty...anyway yeah SNL is a nice dive site. If you ascend above the mooring you will come to this "garden" as I call it at about 65'. Closer to the sun than the surrounding area it is very bright with anenomes and such.

Yah, they both sound great. So, you think Burnham's is the more interesting of the two? Numbers for one or both would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

I aggree, Burnam Rock is also a great dive. We offten combine both sites in one trip when we go out with Fran M.

I'm sensing a NELD SNL/BR...~~~

~~~ "WARNING, WARNING!!! DANGER, Will Robinson, DANGER!!! Approaching accronym/abreviation overload!!! Danger, Will Robinson!!~~~"

As i was saying, before I was so rudely inturrupted by that pile of rusty silicone chips... I'm sensing a New England Lobsta Divah's Saturday Night Ledge/ Burnham Rock group charter in the making.

And since I started the thread, it has to happen on a weekend I can go! Not next weekend, but maybe the one after?
