My name is Don Ferris, and I’ve trained over 2500 people to scuba dive on Cape Cod. While doing so, I literally wrote the books on scuba diving on Cape Cod, Exploring The Waters of Cape CodBeneath The Waters of Massachusetts Bay and The Anthology Of Cape Cod Shipwrecks.

Don is very knowledgeable and truly knows what he’s doing. I not only had so much fun learning with him but also felt completely safe throughout the entire experience. He teaches certain skills that can be used in the state of an emergency and we practiced them several times. I left my classes feeling ready to take on the open water.

Don is a gifted teacher: he explains complicated concepts in accessible terms, finds fun ways to apply book-learned techniques, is stern when safety concerns require it but generally engages his students with humor and empathy. Highly recommended.

Don was an amazing instructor for my SCUBA certification! He was an immensely knowledgeable teacher that explained things clearly and thoroughly prioritizing both safety and fun. It was a joy diving each session and talking about the experiences he has had all over the world. I highly recommend his programs!

Don Ferris was the perfect dive master to teach me and my twin 15 year olds how to scuba dive. He is calm, confident and in his approach…. He keeps it simple so that it does not feel overwhelming or scary, but he makes sure you know all the critical elements. He is also direct and clear in his feedback. As a Mom learning with my kids, I appreciated that he declared on Day 1 - to all of us - that my girls needed to not think of me as Mom … but as just another student learning scuba. His point - They should not look to me for answers or to pick up the slack on anything missed. They needed to be independent learners …. And that was a great call! Also, when I first reached out to him and shared with me some medical info about one child, he was both knowledgable and forthcoming with great information to help me assess her risk factors. Overall, we enjoyed learning Don and would recommend him highly to anyone.

Don was an amazing instructor to work with and I highly recommend you chose him as your instructor also. He makes sure that you feel comfortable about what you're doing, your safety, and ensures that you have a great time! Diving is a great sport and Don has some amazing stories to tell. Before I finished my raining I was already asking him about getting my Advanced license because I enjoyed the training and other non-certified dives I had been on. If you're on the fence or have been looking for a great trainer, Don is your man!

I had a wonderful dive experience with Don this past summer. I had dived in the past, but badly needed a refresher course and ideal to have someone on cape cod! Don has a wealth of experience and a dive master of epic proportions!. He is extremely personable and kind (even giving me kids wet suits for my toddler to get her interested!). I met some lovely students on our days diving and the pond in Sandwich was perfect. I highly recommend Don Ferris Diving and intend on doing more trips with him next summer before a dive trip I plan on completing.

Don taught my 12 year old daughter to Scuba Dive this past summer. He was a patient, kind and thorough instructor. She had several issues with her ears, and a lesser instructor could have made her feel badly about stopping instruction (as there were others in the small groups). He was kind and sympathetic, and very flexible about re-scheduling diving while we got her ears checked out by a physician. She is now a certified Diver and our family can look forward to sharing the undersea world with her. I cannot thank Don enough!
