Join us for a weekly Date @ 8 shore dive. We meet at the Burger King on Rt.128 in Beverly every Saturday morning and head to one of Cape Ann's numerous dive sites for a dive or two. Dive sites are decided on the spot to accomodate the experience and skill levels of those who show up, and everyone is welcome - members and non-members alike.

iDive New England - Diving Resources in New England
Maura Keane
Maura Keane was introduced to the SCUBA diving world in 2014, and it was only by chance, while planning for a trip to Thailand. Long story short, she started her certification in New England and then completed the required open water dives in Koh Phi Phi and Koh Tao, Thailand. She hadn't considered diving throughout New England, that was, until she found out about the active New England diving community.
Her first New England dive was Nubble Light, Maine (picture). After that day she was captivated, although it took time build up her own set of gear as well as to build up her network of dive buddies. Each year, she’d learn of more resources that the diving community had to offer and that was one of the reasons she founded iDive New England in 2022- to help showcase the magnitude of resources across New England as it took her too long to learn all the ins and outs despite getting out and diving regularly.
While a majority of Maura's diving is throughout Rockport and Gloucester, MA, she began to expand her diving throughout the rest of New England. Her passion for diving has also taken her to places like Azores, Indonesia and Socorro Islands with Blue Green Expedition as well as Belize, Cozumel, Key Largo and cenote diving in Mexico.
Please join us for the MetroWest Dive Club's General Meeting for the presentation.
