  1. Super! Love to see marine life from your area! I learned to scuba dive in Rockport! Very cold water but I liked to dive there :-) Posted 5 years ago
    1. You did?! How cool! Very chilly water in Rockport indeed, lol. I did my undergrad at University of Maine in Machias (about 2.5 hours east of Rockport) and spent LOTS of time perusing the mudflats and tidal pools along the coast for marine biology. The Maine coast is such a treasure. I have never done any diving though. Posted 5 years ago
      1. If you ever venture get a dry suit, it will be much more enjoyable because 7-11 C water are really challenging :-D but still worthy! Posted 5 years ago
