Dive Society

The Undersea Divers Society is a great way to acquire new diving skills, meet new dive buddies, and explore the waters of New England and beyond.

What is the Dive Society?

The Dive Society is a group of Undersea Divers customers who are looking to expand their diving abilities and enjoyment and get to know other divers. The Dive Society holds two to three dives a week, that any member of the society is welcome to attend at no charge. In addition there will be several boat trips and trips to dive sites beyond the North Shore.

Who Leads the Dives?

Dive Society dives are always led by one of our skilled Divemasters and Instructors. The Divemaster usually leads an underwater tour of the dive site. The Divemaster can also provide pointers in Lobstering, and Underwater Photography.

Where are the Dives?

Weekly Dive Society dives are held all over the North Shore. From Marblehead and Nahant to Rockport and Gloucester. Dive sites range from relaxing, like Old Garden Beach and Castle Rock to extremely challenging sites such as Cathedral Rocks and Normans Woe. This offers an excellent chance to try sites you are unfamiliar with.
