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.
