Well, my job wants to move me to Boston and I'll likely accept the offer. Naturally, one of my primary concerns is, what about my diving?
I currently live in Portland, OR, so my diving experience is as follows -
So what might I anticipate about moving to Boston as a diver? Is my scuba life over? Or is it a gem that I just don't know about?
I currently live in Portland, OR, so my diving experience is as follows -
- Closest consistently good dive sites are about a three hour drive (Hood Canal)
- Driving three hours each way for a dive weekend is perfectly acceptable to me
- Dives are often cold (sub 50) which is fine as I have a good drysuit
- The sites I dive offer solid marine life (octopus, schools of fish, seals, etc.), shore or boat dives, deep dives, worthwhile night dives, etc.
- In addition to very good diving around Hood Canal, another bucket list dive of Clear Lake is a few hours away
- Can dive pretty much all year round, and I typically enjoy a dive weekend once a month
