Greetings! So, I have a potential job interview for a company in MA located out towards Worcester. Top of my mind in how much seriousness I would put into deciding to interview and consider, is ... WHAT'S MY DIVING GOING TO LOOK LIKE???
Currently, I live in Ventura, CA (not from here, just living here), and I'm getting in the water 2-3 days a week regardless of the season. (Note that I didn't make season a plural ... haha.) My diving and sailing life is pretty damn good right now. Plus, I am a county SAR member, and the variation of my diving and training is really enjoyable right now.
Just the quick 15 minutes of searching, it seems like there is plenty up and down the coast from Maine to NJ. But, is there a good community of divers going year-round and is it possible to beach dive year-round? I assume that's possible, but do the winter swells allow it? Or, is it kinda closed out for a couple months? And, then just in general, what's the basic flavor? I see there's kelp in the NH and ME coastal areas. Seals. I kinda have the idea that it might be fairly similar to CA diving, but maybe I'm getting ahead of myself in the optimism department. My consideration would revolve around living in NH too, for what it's worth.
Thanks! Dive safe and have fun!
