John's Diving Page
I am an avid New England wreck diver diving both deep and shallow wrecks anywhere I can go. I am also a cave diver, making 1-2 trips a year to North Central Florida to do some serious dives while having a lot of fun with some close friends. I just returned from the Andrea Doria, having completed my 13th dive on the Grande Dam of the Sea.

MetroWest Dive Club. I have been a member of the MetroWest Dive Club here in the Framingham area since it's inception in 1990. We have over 200 members, ranging from beginning shore divers, boat divers, photographers, videographers, cayak divers, cave divers, and wreck divers. Our diversity is what makes this club so great!
Our Date-at-Eight program is unique, check it out on our web site!
The MetroWest Dive Club is the Sponsor for WRECKS, a Symposium for Wreck divers, by Wreck diver. In April of 1999 we held our 7th annual sympsosium. Over 200 people attended to see 5 fantastic speakers: Gary Gentile, Terry Tysall, John Chatterton, Dan Crowell, and Billy Palmer. I am stepping down as the Co-Chariman/Speaker Coordinator, as it is taking too much time out of other pursuits. Stop back here for info and links to WRECKS 2000!!!!!!!
