The Patriot (boat dive)

Gloucester

The Patriot is a dive spot for advanced divers. Here you will drop down to the Patriot Wreck that sunk in 2009 and now lies at 100 ft on a sandy bottom. There's often lots of life teaming here. There are lots of cod, pollock, a resident wolffish to see here. We've also been told of a fair number of goosefish sightings.

For advanced divers, it's a must. Charters will require you to show your advanced certification.

Note that there were casualties resulting from this wreck.
