Cape Cod late June, early July

[dv]

Hey all,

I am currently in my OW course and I am going to be in Cape Cod (Sandwich) for 2 weeks of vacation in late June, early July. I was wondering what the conditions are like there that time of year. What kind of exposure protection do I need? Any cool local diving experiences I should do while I'm there? Where are the good shops to go to?

Thanks!

That time of year, you'll still need a 7 MM wetsuit.. Sandwich town beach is a nice shore dive. Even better night dive so bring a light. You have a few choices for shops. In Hyannis, Cape Cod Dive Locker that runs charters. Also in Hyannis is Cape Cod Sea Sports. There is also a shop in Sandwich as well. (Aqua Center) There are shore dives in Dennis as well (corporation beach and Sesuit Harbor) All shallow, safe for a beginner. Cape Cod Sea Sports does guided weekday night dives during the season.

Also, there is Hathaway pond which has a small boat submerged. Great gear rinse dive.

Search this board and you'll find plenty of threads on the above.

reefseel made great suggestions above. Aqua Center is directly in Sandwich and they are really nice folks.
