The Ethos of Midcoast Dive Instruction
The ocean is at the heart of everything we do here at midcoast dive instruction. We want to create knowledgeable passionate divers who share our goal of conserving the wild places below the waves.

As Divers, we carry the profound understanding that seventy percent of the earth belongs to a rich and fascinating ecosystem that is shared by thousands of species that work in tandem to maintain an equilibrium. We also understand that this ecosystem is in danger. At MDI, we take it upon ourselves to be stewards of the ocean, and responsibly give back to it with as many like-minded people as we can.

Being a diver, outside of the water.
If you’re a diver who’s genuinely passionate about the lifestyle and the ocean, it doesn’t matter how many times you actually get under the water. You’re a diver, through and through. At MDI, we seek to educate people on how to be ethical environmentally-conscious consumers, and how to keep the health of the ocean in mind, no matter how far away you might be from it.

Community
At Midcoast Dive Instruction, our goal was to be the dive community we want to see in the state of maine and beyond. That goal hasn’t changed. It’s hardly a factor where you’ve come from in life, or what you look like or do. If you carry a genuine passion for the ocean, and want to immerse yourself in its stewardship, we want to help you achieve your goals.
