Digital Underwater Class - Jeff Miller

Jeff Miller checks out his camera and underwater housing in The Great American Diving Company's Aqua Center during a Digital Underwater Photo class with Bill Cowley. Jeff found the under water taking photos more work than on land. Jeff takes pictures all the time and now combines two of his loves together.

TEC Deep

Crew members Adam Loyet, Luke Rohlfing, Nathan Rowling, and Dan Rohlfing attended a Discover Scuba Diving Wednesday night in the pool of The Great American Diving Company with their Master Instructor and Crew member Bill Cowley. Crew member Gloria Kolenc was on hand to provide shore support and take the picture. The group had a great time and plans on telling their friends to come join the crew too!

Tec Deep

Congratulations to Bill Cowley and Scott Steiner. On Saturday and Sunday, Bill Cowley finished up the DSAT Level 1 Tec Deep diver course.

On Monday and Tuesday, Scott Steiner (left in photo) finished his Level 1 Course as well. (Terry Flynn, DSAT TEC Instructor Trainer is on the right)

The weather was not the best as it rained all day Sunday and Monday, and the vizability was only 2-3 ft. Below 55-60 feet the vizability improved considerably.

Both divers persevered the rain and the 42 degree water and completed this challenging program. They will complete the DSAT Level Two Tec Deep course on the U.S.S. Oriskany later this month.

For thoses divers looking for more of a challenge after recreational diving...this program could be for you. Contact Steve Olfe or Terry Flynn at the shop to learn more.

There are still two spots open for the August Oriskany dives.
