Peirce Island
Peirce Island along the Piscataqua River is a very popular advanced dive site. Divers can explore the fields of hydroids and anemones, the entire site teaming with life. A popular spot for macro photographers who seek out the alluring colors of the nudibranchs. There is also a beautiful sloping wall, Luis' ledge that is one of our favorite places in all of New England. It’s a dive that’s not recommended during summer months given heavy boat traffic that’s coupled with very strong river currents!
