Hello everyone

[yngwiezimm]

Greetings everyone, I am new to diving and the board and very glad I stumbled upon it... I have a question regarding open water certification dives. I took the classroom and pool lessons in Toronto, Ontario while I was visiting family and I'm now trying to find somewhere in the Boston area (where I now live) to do the open water dives. Can anyone recommend a specific shop or instructor? Or does anyone know of cheap/warm destination to do the open water dives... Any help would be great. Thanks,

Stephanie

I live in Lowell right now and there are plenty of other Ma divers on here. I haven't used any shops in your area, but I know they exist. As far as diving goes-CAPE ANNE RULES!!! Awsome shore dives and there are a few charters in the area.
Welcome again and enjoy

The closest shop I know of near you is United Divers in Somerville. Some friends of mine were recently certified there, and they thought it was good. http://www.uniteddivers.com/

My favorite in the area is South Shore Skindivers in Weymouth, on Rt. 3A. I got my Open Water training from them back in the mid 80s. http://www.southshoredivers.com/

I've also gotten some good training from Mass Divers in Natick.

Good luck with the open water dives, and let us know how it goes. Also, there are a number of us in the area who dive regularly, so if you ever need a dive buddy, just say so!
