New England Dive

New England Dive is a PADI 5 Star IDC center in New Haven, and it's built for divers at every stage — from your very first breath underwater to the technical instructor level. A team of 10 PADI instructors leads the way, with training that spans PADI Scuba Diving, TecRec, Snorkelling, First Aid (EFR) and Conservation.

Courses, gear and local diving

The 10,000 sq. ft. showroom keeps everything under one roof: an onsite classroom, a retail shop, equipment sales, and scuba and kids' equipment rental. Air fills come in enriched air (Nitrox), Trimix and mixed gas, and the rental range runs from 3mm, 5mm and 7mm wetsuits to drysuits, regulators, dive computers, and both aluminium and steel cylinders.

Nearby dive sites include Fort Wetherill State Park and Bigelow Hollow State Park, where divers may encounter sharks, whales and turtles. With free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, parking and conservation activities, it suits newcomers, holiday divers and those chasing professional certifications alike.
