Newly Certified OW - Looking for a Dive Buddy! (Boston Area)

[reagansrhetoric]

Hello All!

Got my OW cert a couple weeks ago and have been slowly cobbling together gear (after plunging in the forums of course). I've been in the area about a year and and haven't really met too many people who dive. Any locals want to let a new guy tag along? I'm going to try and get on as many charters I can (those get pricey though) but would like to try out some shore dives.

Shoot me a message if you want to link up!

There's a very active Facebook group for New England divers - I would definitely check it out: Facebook

I know Rye, NH isn't all that close (depending which side of Boston you're on), but the LDS up there does free Saturday morning shore dives with a cookout afterwards. Great fun, good people. I try to make it to as many as I can

That sounds like something I'd definitely be interested in! I live in Medford, Rye is only about an hour away.
I am looking for a good shore dive to test out the new gear I've acquired.. Good meaning pretty protected and easy to access..

Give Atlantic Aquasport a call. Usually head to Nubble or Fort Stark. Nice dives, fairly protected, and entry/exits are pretty decent

Does mass diving charge anything for this?

I just called - shore dive this Sunday! ($15) - They also have a membership program as well - seemed pretty reasonable.
