North Long Island: Cape Santa Maria to Gray's

Diving and Snorkeling

Conception Island Wall is an excellent wall dive, with hard and soft coral, plus interesting sponge formations. The M/V Comberbach, a 103-foot British freighter built in 1948, sank off Cape Santa Maria in 1984, and was scuttled by the Stella Maris Resort in 1986 to create an artificial reef and excellent dive site. Take a guided diving excursion to Shark's Reef and watch a scuba master safely feed dozens of sharks.
