CAPE ANN DIVER'S BOAT

Waivers must be turned into Cape Ann Divers by the morning of the boat charter. You can drop it off at the Cape Ann Divers shop one hour before departure.

WEDNESDAY MID-WEEK BOAT
NIGHT DIVES
Dive with the staff of MASS Diving!

Space is limited and participants must sign-up ahead of time. Additional equipment required: Primary and backup lights and tank light.
FRIDAY ALL DAY THREE TANK DIVE
It's summer so why not make it a 3 day weekend? It's as easy as playing hooky from school or work. We've got all day trips planned each Friday this season. There's nothing better than spending the day on the water. Get yourself out of the cube for an excellent day on the water!
Cape Ann Triple Dive - (3 Dives)
Discover new dive sites, dive favorites, and spend the day on the water. We've picked 3 different dive sites to visit. You'll do two dives then we'll pull into Gloucester or Rockport harbor so you can get lunch at any one of the many restaurants down town. After lunch you'll get back on board and do a third dive and take a leisurely cruise along the coast back to the dock.
