Top five wreck's to dive in Newengland

[matt_unique]

That's a bit of an understatement....It's a pile of trash on the bottom now

Right!
I never cared for the Nina-T personally. It did not have the same appeal as the Poling for example. I wonder if anyone has found new artifacts as a result of the collapse?

Probably not, since Cape Ann Divers dragged it from dock and sank it in 1997. It was pretty well cleaned out, I believe.

There's nothing really to go inside of anymore, either. It's literally a pile of rubble. Used to be a decent dive, though.

With all due respect, matt, I think comparing the two is like comparing Old Garden Beach to Cathedral: both are excellent dive sites with completely different layouts and attributes. Now, the choice is an easy one, but in its heyday the intact Nina T was just beautiful.

I hear you on the Poling thing, though. I'd rather dive the Poling than any other wreck up here that I've been on so far.

Anyone dove the Mars? I hear that's a nice wreck too? Another rec wreck on my list is the Port Hunter. Last time I was on MV, I tried to get out to her, but it didn't work out.

I grew up on MV and the Port Hunter was the first wreck I ever dove (I was in high school at the time). It was probably around 1991, so it has been a while, but it was a pretty nice dive back then. You can see the nice big gash in the hull where it was hit during the collision that sank it. The AA gun is also pretty cool. At the time I did it, there was so much sand on the deck that at first glance it looked like a sandy bottom instead of the deck of a ship.

Penetration is a bit of a challenge though:

If the Field & Sea makes the list, I have a rubber submarine in my bathtub that should be on there too.
