The Aqua Shack Dive Trip  was Awesome!!! Check out Bill Whitney and Steve Howard's Pics of the Aqua Corps Little Cayman Trip. Keep an eye out for our NEXT TRIP!!!

We stayed at the Little Cayman Beach Resort... way away from the 7 Mile Beach crowds or Grand Cayman and the "Cruise Shippers" "Chubby's" food is still fantastic and the diving is still as unbelievable as ever!

Every Monday Night @ 7:00pm - Paddle After Work.  Call us if you're coming! On Hold till Spring, if it ever comes... hopefully soon!

Paddle for health or relaxation. A fantastic way to end a hard day at work! Bring anything that floats (or rent our Ocean Kayaks) and join us for a nice relaxing paddle (or a hard workout) on a local lake or river.  (I go even if no one else shows... most nights I'm paddling alone - Jim).

Little Cayman Beach Resort .

Full Moon "Adventure" Night Dive.. Always a great time! Come just for fun or for credit towards your "Advanced Open Water" diver Certification. The PADI Adventure Night Dive can count toward PADI Adventure Diver or PADI Advanced O/W. Come on one of our infamous night dives! Sit by the fire after the dives and enjoy midnight  by Full Moonlight. Sip your favorite beverage and enjoy some good times with us! Plan for a late night. Meet at Cathedral Ledge in Rockport @ 8:00pm. (or earlier).  You've heard about our infamous night dives, now's your time to try one! Call us if you're coming so we can give you the last minute details... 

Full Moon "Adventure" Night Dive..  Full Moon Night dives are always a great time! Cape Ann has an awesome assortment of opportunities for beach/shore dive sites, most of which are hardly ever dived at night. Sites to choose from include the old standards like Folly and Cathedral, and maybe some you've never dived at night like Lanesville, the Seaside Cemetery or Brace Cove. We'll find the best spots to enjoy your evening! All Welcome! Free... but tipping the DM's if they're helpful is allowed! Advanced certification or "equivalent" preferred, but O/W Certification acceptable if enrolled in Adv. O/W Program and have completed the Navigation dive, OR if touring with the Divemaster.

Watch for our Summer Dive Schedule HERE! It's constantly being updated!  Try one soon!

Now that the water is warming up and the days are getting lomger it's time to  start diving again (if you haven't been diving with us all winter that is) We do many great daytime weekend dives and weeknight night dives! Join us on one soon...

COMING SOON! COMING SOON!

More on these later!

Note on River Classifications -- We use the International Scale of River Difficulty, along with additional local considerations, when rating the rivers we run. Since we try to gear our trips to paddlers of all experience level, we tend to be somewhat conservative in our ratings. For example if a river is mostly just quickwater or Class 1, but with some Class II sections, we will call it Class II. For more information click International Scale of River Difficulty.
