Mark Potter has been diving since 1980 and became a PADI instructor in 1986. He founded MASS Diving in 1988 and ran the full-service dive shop for 35 years, until 2023. He still operates MASS Diving in a limited capacity, offering warm water group trips. Mark is the USA sales rep for the Manthiri liveaboard in the Maldives. His favorite local places to dive are Saturday Night Ledge, Dry Salvages and Halfway Rock. His favorite exotic places are the Maldives, Fiji, Philippines and Cuba.

What is it like to dive New England?

The video below tries to convey a sense of what diving in New England is like; cold water, low vis, and great wildlife. It was produced by William Skelly and the underwater photos in it were taken over the course of five years by Steve Bigelow, Steven Jaques, Robert Landy, and Bobby Joe.
