Scuba Diving Certification Massachusetts

You can get Scuba diving certification Massachusetts by following the scuba diving program already available in this city. You simply come and register yourself as a participant of the scuba diving certification program.

One of the local companies offering this program in Massachusetts is Mass diving, address at 247 West Central Street Natick, MA. Like the information we quote from their official website about the scuba diving certification program they offer, including PADI Open Water Training Dives:

PADI Open Water Training Dives

Four ocean dives are required for PADI Open Water Certification. Students must register in advance for these dates. If you need to rent equipment for these dives, you will need to come in to the store and be fitted. Please do this in advance so they can guarantee that they will have equipment for your ocean dive weekend.

Instruction: Includes instruction for the entire weekend and certification card fees.

Refresher Policy:  If you are planning to do your check out dives with us here in New England and it has been longer than 3 months since your pool sessions, they require that you take an Open Water Skills Refresher prior to doing your check out dives.  They will schedule those as needed and the cost is $100.

Student Rental Rate: (Includes 2 tanks, regulator, BC, wetsuit, hood, & weight belt.) Students must supply mask, snorkel, fins, boots, & gloves. Student discount is 15% off their regular rental rate (estimated $97.75). Students may pick up their equipment either Thursday or Friday and return it after the dives on Sunday. Students can wash their equipment at the store. MASS Diving will take a digital picture of you for your certification card.

Meeting Places and Times – All four ocean training dives will be conducted in the Gloucester and Rockport area.
Saturday and Sunday Shore Dives:  6am at the Burger King, Rt. 128 North – Just past Exit 19 in Beverly. Their first choice of destinations is Back Beach in Rockport.  Students should arrive back at the store early afternoon. You will need 2 tanks each day. Tanks can be refilled at the store at no charge on Saturday.

Note: There is limited metered parking at Back Beach. Please carpool as much as possible. Bring lots of quarters to feed the meters.

Alternate: If conditions at Back Beach are unfavorable, they will use Stage Fort Park in Gloucester. There is plenty of parking. Fee is $20.00 per carload. See directions below.
