I grew up in Boston, started diving in my early twenties, eventually becoming an instructor. There is something really unique about the shore diving in the North East and of course, the people you meet whilst doing it. Having lived in Southern California for the last twelve years, things are very different here. Yea the water is warmer, but diving is so much more difficult and costly for some reason. Even shore diving is much more challenging due to the constant wave action, making it a bit less fun then jumping off the back of a boat or better yet, hitting up Catalina for a walk into the dive park. Both of which are expensive endeavors for people who wish to just have fun without the cost. I can think of many other things I'd rather spend $100+ dollars on, then two dives. The ocean is right there, what's the deal on spending money to get wet?
So, for the last two summers, I've been traveling back to the North East, catching up on my roots and honestly, having the MOST fun. I've been shooting a series of video's on my "adventures" and figured this was a great place to share them and maybe start up a conversation about why so many divers who live in New England, don't dive in New England.
