Located on the Northern flank of Fire Island just East of the New Ponquogue Bridge. Parking is contingent upon receipt of seasonal permit (May 1st - Labor Day). Boat ramp is available for waterway access. This is a shore dive and subject to tidal variation; best time to visit is just prior to slack high tide. A network of submerged cables provide underwater access in channel. Many interesting plant life and animals to see.
