People and places that Aaron is a big fan of:
DUI Drysuiits
Aaron’s only choice for drysuits for over a decade. DUI drysuits have been essential for Aaron’s documentary work in the Northeast, both for the extreme temperatures and HazMat conditions they protect against. When they say “Immersed In Comfort,” they’re not kidding.
The definitive leader in electronic housings, and Aaron’s first and only choice for underwater imaging.
Northern Atlantic Dive Expeditions
Quite simply, one of the premiere advanced dive charters in the entire country. Lucky for Aaron, the R/V Gauntlet is based in Salem, MA. Captains Dave Caldwell and Heather Knowles are not only highly experienced deep divers but also superb instructors, teaching all levels of NAUI SCUBA classes from beginner open water to a wide array of technical courses as well. Northern Atlantic Dive Expeditions are undisputed leaders in the technical diving field, and Halfway Rock media is incredibly proud to be associated with them.
Boston Harbor Diving Company
Serving the harbor islands & Outer Brewster National Park, Boston Harbor Diving Company also offers a very wide ranges of PADI SCUBA classes year-round. Aaron will be teaching select classes and leading dives this summer aboard BHDC’s newest acquisition, the 34’ Splash.
East Coast Divers, Inc.
Locations in Brookline and Framingham, MA, Aaron is the house pro and has taught a wide variety of courses here since 2001. ECD has an in-house travel department and has sent Aaron literally all over the world.
Northeast Scuba
Northeast Scuba is located in Chelmsford, Massachusetts and is a full service PADI 5-Star IDC Training Facility. Owner Tom Huff is the leading instructor in Rebreather technology in New England and was profiled in the documentary Still On Her Keel.
Divers Down Television
The best damn scuba show, period.
Underwater Education & Training Center

Snappa Charters
Based out of Point Judith, RI, Captain Charlie Donilon is the original and the leader for almost 30 years in shark diving in New England. Aaron routinely solicits the services of The Snappa and will be on board several times during the short 2006 season filming for a mini-documentary.
Explorer Ventures
Quite simply, no one does liveaboard diving like Explorer Ventures. They are Aaron’s ideal base of operations for filmmaking throughout the Caribbean and Australia. In late 2006/2007, Aaron will be spearheading an extensive filmmaking expedition aboard the brand-new Galapagos Explorer.
