Divers will find extremely healthy coral reefs here as well as adrenaline-pumping ocean drop-offs, white-knuckle shark dives, and even an excellent wreck site.
Beautiful wall diving is the attraction at Conception Island, an uninhabited national park about 15 miles to the northeast of Long Island. A spectacular sandy slope cascades down to large coral heads on top of the wall, and this is where you'll find anything from schooling blue parrotfish to curious reef sharks.
Organized shark diving started right here on Long Island, and it's a kick.
Deans
Blue Hole is a phenomenally gorgeous spot, perfect for both diving and
snorkeling. Access is right off of a pristine sandy beach. Deans is
the deepest known ocean blue hole in the world -- 663 feet deep!
