Board of Underwater Archaeological Resources - Shipwreck Sites Open to Divers

The intent of creating an exempt shipwreck site is to preserve such sites for the continued enjoyment of the recreational diving community. Recreational diving activities on exempted shipwreck sites will not require a permit from the Board of Underwater Archaeological Resources. However, any major disruption of the site is prohibited. The recreational diving community is encouraged to protect these sites for the continued enjoyment of all.

The List of Exempted Shipwrecks is open to modification. The Board invites interested parties to suggest changes, provide information, or make comment on this list.

All dives are conducted at your own risk. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts accepts no responsibility for loss of any kind, including personal injury or property damage. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts assumes no liability for inaccuracies in dive information contained in these pages including site locations and dive conditions.
