OW Training in Boston Area

[Axeman]

I have a friend in Boston who I think would like to dive and I am looking for a LDS to send him to for OW training.

Recomendation please.

He works @

18 Tremont St.
Boston, MA 02108 USA

so I assume anywhere in this area is good.....

not sure where this is as I have never been to boston before. Any help is appreciated....

Thanks

There isn't really anything I know of in Downtown Boston, but United Divers in Somerville and PG dive in Newton are both just outside the city. Where does your friend live? There might be something closer to home than to work.

Like MSilvia said...there is no place in downtown Boston. A friend of mine owns United Divers and they are very good. Send him there it's about 15 min. from downtown Boston.

I got the classroom part of my open water with mass diving (PADI) very nice people, the owner mark is a great guy, and all the staff make you feel very welcome. i highly recomend them, only problem if you friend lives in boston is location (there about 1/2 hr+ to get there)

Thanks

I agree with all that, but would add that the shop is sometimes quick to try to "upsell". For example, I went in one time looking for a waterproof watch, and within minutes Mark was trying to sell me on a $900 Suunto wrist computer.

That said, I've been a return customer of their training.
