Which wrecks to dive?

[all4scuba05]

Boat dive in May with Cape Ann Divers. I did the Poling with them in December. Am thinking of doing it again. Have to pick two wrecks to book. Which wrecks did you guys find worth diving? Should I pick the poling and something else? Or two other wrecks? We won't have doubles. Just 100CF bottles. Prefer no deeper than 100'. Water will still be cold so dive time might be no more than 20-30 minutes at depth.

Doing the Poling again probably wouldn't be a bad idea, but I would certainly try the Chelsea and/or the Chas Haight. They are both shallower than the Poling and can be very nice dives.

That does look like a good choice. Both are in the same general direction. More bottom time as well. Thanks

The Poling is really the only intact wreck in the area in the < 100' range. I've dived her probably 30+ times and I still enjoy my Poling dives.

There's also the Romance, which is a debris field in Boston Harbor at 80'. If you want to go just a bit below 100', there is the Pug Wreck at 110(deck)-125'(sand) and the Reliance at 120'.

The Romance / Poling would make a nice trip.

WELL, if we're gonna head south towards Bean Town, and we wanna confuse the dude some . . . he could also hit the City of Sals (< 100fsw), the Herbert (about 100fsw), or the Kiowa (about 60fsw if I remember right). But I wouldn't be using CAD, I'd give Capt. Jim a shout at Boston Harbor Diving:http://www.bostonharbordivingcompany.com/. OR, He could contact Heather and Dave at http://www.northernatlanticdive.com/ and check out the Pinthis (100fsw)for a couple of dives when they head there.

Enough options

Just trying to help

The Pinthis is a great dive... definitely do that one if you can. It's difficult to get a ride out there sometimes.

Kiowa's at closer to 30' if I recall correctly, and it's a debris field.

Second the Pinthis, but usually it's a special trip(I went w/ Fran last year) and yes, it can be rough. Not so much the ride out there, but once you anchor, look out:l: :l: :l: . Romance and the Salisbury are great if you're already in the Harbor.

Anyhow, since you've already booked w/ CAD do two dives in their area. If you don't have your mind set on two wrecks, maybe the Poling followed up by Egg or Paddock Rock would be a good choice. It's tough to go wrong w/ the Poling.
