East Coast Divers
Alex Dulavitz

There are very few businesses that can say the following: “We love what we do!” Diving isn’t just a sport; it’s a passion and a way of life. When we go to work, we do so because it’s something that calls to us. Diving is a calling; we couldn’t do without it. Every member of our staff will tell you that there are certain people that work as a means to an end and then there are those who dedicate every part of their being to what they love: East Coast Divers is comprised of the latter. It is this enthusiasm and passion that creates the atmosphere that surrounds our facility. Not surprisingly we often hear the same thing from new customers entering our store: "You’re like a family, you all seem to get on so well and have so much fun”. Diving is contagious and we believe we need to be enthusiastic, caring, and passionate about what we do and, at the same time, actively engaged. We are proud to say that we are New England’s most active dive shop. We are out there, actually diving, doing the things that our divers want to do and desire to join.

Our greatest sense of pride comes from our instructional program. When diving first started, it was based on the military training that the first divers had to go through. As society changed, instructional methodology also changed. What resulted was a fast food approach to diving instruction that most dive centers use today. “Get them in, get them out and get them done”. The industry calls this the “fill the funnel” approach to student acquisition. We are 100% proud to say that we entirely disagree with this philosophy. At other dive centers you can become certified, at ECD you can become a diver. What is the difference, you may ask? Comfort, confidence, and a desire to explore the unknown, is the answer. ECD has developed a program like no other in the area, perhaps even the country. Our instructional courses are dedicated to the customer and our philosophy is that a student should grow to love the sport as much as our staff does. With this understanding, our dive staff goes above and beyond on a daily basis to give our customers the most exceptional experience that we can offer.
