Dive On It Scuba - New England
The team at Dive On It Scuba gets New England diving. That’s why we like them. They understand the nuances of a drysuit, the chill in the air on a surface interval, and the absolute thrill of finding something cool in murky conditions. This isn’t your sun-drenched, palm-tree-lined dive shop, and that’s precisely its strength. We think Dive On It is perfect for anyone serious about becoming a competent, confident diver in conditions that aren’t always Instagram-perfect. They’re a PADI 5 Star IDC centre, which tells you a lot about their commitment to instruction. This is where you go if you want to really learn to dive, not just get a card. Our favourite thing about them is their emphasis on local diving – they dive the quarries, the wrecks off the coast, and the colder waters that make you appreciate a good thermal layer. You’ll feel the bite in the water, hear the creak of your drysuit, and come out of the water with a genuine sense of accomplishment. We’d suggest chatting with them about their local site recommendations; they know the spots where the lobsters hide and the best times to avoid the crowds.
