Scuba Surface - New England
If you’re diving New England, Scuba Surface needs to be on your radar. Jean-François Blard and his team run a no-nonsense operation, focusing on getting you properly kitted out and offering solid advice. We love that they’re more about matching the right gear to *you* than pushing the latest model. Think of them as your personal dive outfitter, asking about your local conditions and what kind of diving you actually do before making a recommendation. We’ve had some great conversations with Jean-François about cold water regulators and drysuit configurations. His technical knowledge is seriously impressive, but he explains it all without making you feel like a novice. This isn’t a place for impulse buys; it’s where you go when you want durable, reliable gear that will perform whether you’re exploring a deep wreck off Cape Ann or just poking around a local quarry. They don't just sell you a piece of kit; they sell you confidence. Their specialisation really lies in their attention to detail and their commitment to finding practical solutions for New England's often challenging dive environment.
