South Shore Neptunes

Neptune Dive - Saturday, July 11, 2026. Story and Photos by Sokol Prifti. Alex Wieck, Todd Alger, Joe Kilcommons and I left the marina 7:00 am due to the Tall ship events and headed to North Shore. On the way up we enjoyed watching the tall ships spreading out their sails heading to Boston Harbor for the Tall Ship Parade. Our first dive was Manchester by The Sea with ok visibility 30-45 feet and temp down to 48 degrees on the bottom. There were good size lobsters and some seals watching Todd with curiosity! Our second dive was down to 75-82 feet for scallops with 47 degrees bottom temperature and good visibility!
The third dive was in a good spot with a lot of rock formations and marine life but cold! After that we headed back home and made it to the dock at 3:30 PM.

We have limited space on members boats to watch the Tall Ship Parade of Sail in Boston Harbor Saturday, July 11, 2026 9:00AM -4:00PM. Call or text the Diver’s Hotline for available spots.

Neptunes Fourth of July Weekend - Story by Doug Eaton photos by Doug Eaton and Tommy Lo. We had three boats on the Fourth of July. Tommy Lo had Ken Hayes and Justin Casanova on his boat. Angelo Correnti had Doug Eaton and Chuck Zarba on his boat and Bill Gallagher had Josh Eagles. On the Fourth of July, we did two dives looking for food. Some of us did good and some didn't. On the 5th of July, two boats went out to the Outer Brewster where Angelo Correnti got in for a dive. The second dive we went to Peddocks Island for a drift dive looking for a scallop bed. I dropped in and started looking and found no signs of scallops. I did find an old bottle and a lobster and gave my dive report not finding a scallop bed. Had agreat two days diving with the Neptunes.
