📅 Date: Tuesday, May 12th

🌊 MetroWest Dive Club Presents: “Lessons From the Deep”

Real Dive Stories. Real Close Calls. Real Safety Lessons.

Join the MetroWest Dive Club for an interactive scuba safety Q&A night featuring experienced divers sharing firsthand stories, mistakes, near-misses, equipment failures, decision points, and the lessons that made them better divers.

This is not a lecture. It’s an open conversation about the realities of diving — from recreational dives to more advanced environments — and how seasoned divers manage risk underwater.

Topics may include:

Situational awareness underwater
Gas management mistakes and recoveries
Equipment failures and redundancy
Navigation issues and buddy separation
Cold water and low visibility challenges
Task loading and stress management
“Call the dive” decisions
Lessons learned the hard way

Whether you’re newly certified or highly experienced, this session is designed to improve judgment, preparedness, and confidence in the water ahead of our upcoming scuba season.

Bring Your Questions

No filters. No ego. Ask anything.

📍 Hosted by MetroWest Dive Club

🤿 Open to divers of all experience levels

Pizza night!

Diving in New England

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. (Video subtitles are available.)

iDive New England is the ultimate SCUBA community resource for diving in New England, where you can find dive site info, charter boats, local clubs and shops, regulations and much more.
