Guided Shore Dives – Explore New England with Us
New England diving offers incredible marine life and unique sites, but cold water conditions can be a challenge — especially if you’re used to warmer waters. That’s where our guided shore dives come in.
Whether you’re new to cold water, haven’t been diving locally in a while, or just want someone to show you the best parts of the site, diving with a local pro can make a big difference. Guided dives are also a great way to prep before enrolling in a class if you’ve never dove in cold water before.
What’s Included (and What’s Not)
Included:
*A certified dive professional to brief the site, assist with entries/exits, and guide you through the dive. Each group is limited to 4 divers.
*Two dives are scheduled, but you can choose to do just one if you prefer.
Not Included:
*Dive gear- all gear except for personal fit gear (mask, fins, snorkel, boots) can be rented from ECD. Gear must be picked up by the diver the day before the dives, and returned after the dives. Rental gear can be booked here
*Transportation to/from the dive site
Please note: Guides cannot transport equipment to the dive site on behalf of divers, divers are responsible for renting, picking up and transporting their own equipment for the dives.
