MAKAMAH
DIRECTIONS:
(Huntington,
Suffolk County)
Take the Long
Island Expressway to Exit 52 North, Commack Road. This will
change
names and eventually turn into Bread and Cheese Hollow Road. Turn
left
onto Fort Salonga Road, then make a right turn onto Makamah Road and
take it to the end.
NOTE: There might
be some parking problems at this site. /n the past the
small
parking
lot at the end of Fort Salonga Road was available,
hut I've heard
that now it is closed.
CONDITIONS:
According to local
divers, this location doesn't offer too much in the way of aquatic
life, but it can serve as a good warm-up dive after the winter.
If legal parking
can be found, divers can find some big rocks about 100 to 150
yards
otishore. These boulders can be found by swimming on a 70-degree
compass course where they will be exposed at low tide, and submerged
at high.
This area is definitely the best shot divers have at
finding lobsters. In between
these scattered
boulders, a clean sand bottom, some bottom fish and crabs can
usually be
found. Boat traffic is heavy, but is usually concentrated out past
the
rocks and poses little danger to inshore diving.
Overall, this
site is nice for a leisurely dive on the north shore, but aquatic
activity is minimal.
