Portland Headlight
|
|
This picturesque area is the site of two wrecks: the Annie McGuire and the Lachinvar. It is also great park for non-divers to hang out and explore, as well. As you'll read below, getting to the water's edge can be a challenge, so we'd only recommend advanced divers in good physical shape attempt this dive.
Directions: Take a look at the previous site, Two Lights, to get your bearings. At the intersection of 77 and East Point Road, head North for 1.5 miles, then make a right onto Shore Road. In 2.5 miles you can take a right into Fort Williams Park. Drive past Ships Cove, until you end up in the parking lot next to the light house.

This is the trail that takes you to the left of the light house, to the small diving cove.

There again is the steep trail at the bottom left of the picture. We're pretty good divers, but we're not sure our mountaineering skills are up to speed for this dive. We'd like to hear from divers who have successfully made it in and out of this cove.

You can see that once you get to the water's edge, the possibilities are endless for a wonderful dive,
