Dive season is now upon us on and the Sea Ventures U-Boat Diving Course is underway! This course was developed exclusively by Sea Ventures, and is a three-night/one-day (classroom, pool, and quarry) course that will familiarize students with German U-Boat operations off the U.S. East Coast during World War II and educate them on the special skills and equipment necessary for exploring these historic wrecks. Classes are filling up now, so reserve your spot today.
