The MetroWest Dive Club's Boat Diving Program charters dive boats throughout the New England area. The MWDC Boat Charters are open to all members. We also maintain a list of Dive Boats frequently chartered by MWDC members, which can be seen on the left.

The beginning of each year a new schedule is worked out by interested club members and the Boat Dive Coordinator. The schedule usually runs from May to September, however we sometimes also do some winter Boat Dives during the cold weather months!

This year's Boat Dive Coordinator is:

John Williams

If you have an idea or request for a boat dive that you think other members of the club would enjoy as well, please let the Boat Dive Coordinator know.
