Notes about things regarding scuba diving that I have come to know.

Pete's Southern Maine Regional Dive Site Guide
Pond Cove, Cape Elizabeth

This site is located on Shore Road in Cape Elizabeth about 1-1/4 miles south of Fort Williams (Portland Headlight, Ship Cove). Watch for a turn-out for Robinson's Woods, a walking trail in the woods. Pull into this lot. The dive site is a very short walk down the road from this location. This site is only diveable at high tide and I don't think you even want to try to center a pair of dives. The entry area in particular is shallow and rocky and with a less than high tide becomes treacherous. Centered on high tide it is very negotiable for a dive. We have made this dive as a triangle heading for the outer right corner of the cove, traversing the mouth and returning to the entry point. Plan to see depths a little deeper than 20 feet. Part of the trip out is apt to be a sandy rippled span. Watch for flounder, skate and sand eels. Once you get out to the ledges it's a nice exploratory roller coaster ride as you meander about. From there you do the third leg of the triangle back to the entry point. This is not a grand site bit it is fairly sheltered and quite enjoyable. I always enjoy it. It would also be a very nice skin-dive site.
