The Gwendolyn Steers is a shipwreck located 2000 metres off the coast of Long Island in the Long Island Sound. Resting at depths between 6 and 30 metres with an average of 15 metres, this artificial reef is accessible only by boat. Divers encounter mild currents, though visibility is variable, ranging from 5 to 15 metres. The site requires intermediate skill due to potential surge and swell, particularly in the shallower sections. Boat traffic is frequent in the area, necessitating the use of a surface marker buoy during ascents. Guided tours and boat charters are available through local dive shops to support site planning and access.
