related experience. The Aquarium Divers have access to most resources available at the Shedd Aquarium. We have
2 PADI certified Scuba Instructors, 4 Dive Masters, and 2 Diver Master candidates. We have access to the Shedd's
own Coral Reef II dive boat docked in Florida. We also have TONS of resources in the Shedd's volunteers and employees-veterinarians,
marine biologists, aquarists and animal care specialists. We offer training classes on DAN Oxygen First Aid/Rescue
and regularly pursue training for additional certification levels. In the future we will be offering Underwater
Photography and more. There are local trips planned monthly, and two BIG trips planned annually, for example: Cozumel,
Belize, and Bonaire in 98/99. Great trips in the works for 2000!! We have great speakers offering presentations

The Deep Blue Divers is a non-profit, member-operated club that promotes the sport of scuba diving. Our members
include divers of every level of experience, and some non-divers, too. We place a major emphasis on scuba safety
and education, as well as fun! Our events are family oriented - non-diving spouses and children are welcome at
meetings and dive trips. We make our events exciting for everyone - barbeques and non-diving activities assure
fun for the whole family! |
