Maine

Home

The State of Maine includes 3,500 miles of indescribably beautiful coastline, comprised of bays, coves and similar indentations. Over 60 lighthouses dot the craggy shore including the Portland Head Light, which was commissioned by George Washington. Wreck diving (many accessible from shore) is available at many locations. Check your tide tables and enjoy!

We would like to thank the kind assistance of Mike Bridges for helping us prepare this section for Maine. He and his wife provided guided shore diving tours in Maine for many years, but have since moved to the warmer climate of Panama City, Florida where he continues to shore dive and teach classes.
