Cedar Island Ledge -- Isles of Shoals
|
Boat Dive
From Captain Rob''s Dive Charters
Location: Approximately 700 yards southeast of Cedar Island.
Special Features: The depth drops dramatically to well over 100 feet. The bottom consists of an interesting grouping of ledge, boulders and large granite slabs, which form caves. Flora and fauna abound.
Access: Only by boat.
Hazards: This site is exposed to weather from the north, east and south. The ledge rises to the surface, so the site must be approached with caution. Lobster and recreational boats frequent the area. Boats should not be left unattended. A heavy anchor is needed.
Depth: To 140 feet.
Currents: The surge from sea and swell in shallow areas and the tidal currents can be moderately strong.
Restrictions: None.
