The same author also wrote Beneath the waters of Massachusetts Bay and Exploring the Waters of Cape Cod.
I have Exploring the Waters of Cape Cod., and my buddy has Beneath the waters of Massachusetts Bay. They are both excellent books. I'm sure the other one is also. I had a hard time finding Beneath th Waters of Cape Cod. I think it may be out of print.

Cape Ann is the eplace to go. There's lots of "easy" dives (relative of course) but more imporatantly, no one dive site in Cape Ann is more than 15 minutes from the next. That's important because when the weather is not cooperating at one site, you can go to another that has completely different exposure.

Back beach is always a good spot for new divers. Old garden beach another good site. Check in with one of the dive shops, they usually have dives on the weekend to help newer divers or divers who just want a buddy.
Its not in Massachusetts, but the Portland Quarry (Portland, CT) is reasonably close, particularly if you live in Central or Western Mass. I used to live in Longmeadow, and could get there in about 45 minutes.
