It's actuall right in between the two markers. Here is the link to the correct map.

I'm pretty sure it is the same wall everyone dives, since the guy at the dive shop dirrected us to it.
 
All this map stuff is a little unnecessary. If you go there it is not in the least bit confusing. You enter the water in the only easy place to enter the water. It would be a struggle to not enter right where we did. Just follow the road past ft. wetherill until you come to another parking lot. Go to the nearest spot where you can easily get to the water, and bingo! you're there.
 
Thanks jeff. I'll be going there soon to catch a glimpse of the tropicals before they succumb to the cold (and befoere I succumb as well).
 
I'll be back there soon too. I just love the place, and it's almost as close to boston as cape anne.
 
Water temp. is still quite warm too. Drysuit is definately unnessary. I just like playing with my new toys.
 
Hmmm. I have no marks labeled A nor B on my map, just red and blue colored.

Sorry about my confusion. I should have gotten closer to the screen.... :D

I'll sneak back and edit my post....

Guggie had it pretty much dead on. Point b is a little east of where it should be. The entry point is obvious if you walk down from the parking lot. Exactly what you're thinking. If you swim pretty much straight out from the beach entry, you can't miss the wall. I think it's across the east cove, unless I'm completely fliped around. It's across the cove that is towards Naraganset bay from the main lot.

No, you're not flipped around. I should have avoided using the actual name of West Cove, which is named for David West, not for it's geography.

If you're swimming across this bay and hitting a wall, I suspect it is the same wall. Much shorter swim from this lot. We only surface swam about 15 yards from the shore and droped down 35' to the top of the wall. The beach is in a small cove and we dropped down about at the edge of the cove. The current was pulling us out and by the time I had pulled on my fins and gloves, I had drifeted to right above the wall.

As far as the vis, it was pretty bad. Between 5 and 10 feet. At about 60' it was pitch dark and you would think you were doing a night dive.

I'll have to use that entry point nearest the point next time I go. I have a feeling my dive brought us around the point at or below the base of the wall. I'd like see more of it next time.

The maps were helpful, thanks.

OK. We're getting close. You entered at the blue or yellow marker on this Google Maps map?


Yellow is the small cove entry point. This is Bull Point.
