Giant Stride Dive Shop - New England

The team at Giant Stride Dive Shop are the kind of people you want to dive with. They’re straight shooters, focused on getting you comfortable in New England’s often brisk waters. We love that they really understand what local diving entails – it’s not always balmy and easy, but the rewards are huge if you know where to look. They’re a PADI 5 Star centre, which means solid training, but it’s their local knowledge that really makes them shine. If you’re keen to explore the wrecks and ledges off the New England coast, these are your people. They run regular trips, often to spots like the infamous *Chester A. Poling* tugboat wreck, where you might spot a wolf eel poking its head from a pipe or a curious harbour seal zipping past. Visibility can vary wildly here, from a soupy five feet to a glorious thirty, so their advice on conditions is invaluable. Our favourite tip from them? Always pack an extra layer for after the dive, even in summer. That ocean breeze bites. They specialise in making New England diving accessible, whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your drysuit skills for deeper wreck penetration.
