Below we have put together a schedule which you can either follow our suggested spots or choose your own, the schedule is flexible until a destination/date/time is booked. We go to all the normal Cape Ann dive sites plus most of the deep technical wreck dives in the area so if you have a site in mind and it is not listed call us and we will try to accommodate you. Our normal AM charters leave the dock at 8 AM and we like to have everyone on the boat ready to go at 7:45 AM we try to return between 12:00 and 12:30. The normal PM charter leaves the dock at 1 PM, we like to have everyone on the boat ready to go at 12:45pm and we try to return between 5:00 and 5:30pm. Please call if you need information on special dives trips, about anything about the schedule, or if you wish to reserve some spots on our boat. The best way to contact us is on one of the two above listed numbers, or email all are checked daily. When leaving a message please speak slowly and leave a number you can be reached at. On Monday thru Thursdays we will run the boat with a minimum of 4 divers with the exception of special trips. We have a detailed information sheet, which answers most questions commonly asked so if you have questions ask and I will e-mail you a copy.
