General Info

In 1973, horse collar safety vests, SharkSkin wetsuits, black rubber masks and fins, were standard equipment. Low pressure inflators for B.C.'s dive computers, and silicone masks weren't invented yet. The Aluminum 80 cubic foot tank had been out for less than one year. This was when North Atlantic Scuba got it's start. At that time, NAS was seasonally operated, and shut down from October to April. Within two years, business was conducted year-round, although in the off season it was on a limited basis. The current ownership was established over twenty six years ago in 1979. Since it's beginnings, North Atlantic Scuba ( through NAUI and PADI ) has certified thousands of scuba divers. Within some families, three generations have discovered the thrill of diving at NAS! Since 1973 North Atlantic Scuba has put well over one million pounds of air ( the actual weight of the air itself ) into scuba tanks. Today, North Atlantic Scuba has one of the largest selections of scuba and snorkeling equipment in New England ( all of it competitively priced! ). The total inventory of NAS is two to three times more than most dive stores ; so most items are in stock, making special orders rare.
