About North Shore Frogmen

Biography:

The North Shore Frogmen's Club, Inc., is an adult (male and female 21 or over) club of 100 plus members. We are affiliated with the Bay State Council of Divers, Inc., and meet weekly each Thursday, at 8:00 P.M., at the Palmers Cove Yacht Club, 74 Leavitt St Salem MA.
Founded in the fall of 1957, we are one of the oldest sport diving clubs in the world.
(We were incorporated in 1958 and featured in a double-page photo in LIFE magazine in 1959).
As a club we promote safe, enjoyable diving, dive-related, and community service activities. We dive year-round - starting on New Year's Day! Our activity schedule includes weekly club dives, night dives, ice dives, boat dives, deep dives, and wreck dives. Also included are family weekend trips, our club picnic and banquet, and winter dives every week. In addition to our vigorous dive schedule and weekly meetings, our members use our unique "BUDDY LIST" to contact other members and to dive in small groups throughout the week. When you want to dive, you can always find another member of the club to go with you!
The club has participated in search and rescue operations in support of area harbormasters, police and fire departments. In small groups our members travel to the tropics for dive vacations throughout the year; individually our members "dive the world."
Weekly meetings include discussions/presentations on equipment maintenance, underwater photography, lobstering, seafood recipes, safety instruction and guest speakers. Dive or dive related equipment is raffled off weekly.
Check the schedule. See if we have an guest speaker coming up!
