When divers think of the history of scuba diving one man stands alone as the father of scuba, Jacques Cousteau. However, Cousteau did not come up with the first scuba system. That honor was given to Henry Fleuss who invented the world’s first scuba equipment in 1878. This being said, Cousteau and his partner, Emile Gagnan, along with many other diving pioneers opened the door of exploration and discovery into the worlds of inner-space with the relative simplicity and reliability of their Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus. Their spirit of exploration has been compared to that of early astronauts, who faced similar challenges. First, like astronauts, early divers learned to work in an environment that could be deadly if not respected, likewise both outer and inner-space are void of breathable air. Next, both areas have pressures that are quite different then those which humans are use to. Lastly, Divers and astronauts could not have accomplished the scope of exploration and safely return home with the support of individuals out of harm’s way and pieces of then cutting edge equipment.
Now divers can have a chance to explore one the greatest pieces of outer- space support equipment that US had in its inventory the USNS Vandenberg. USNS Vandenberg named after Air force General Hoyt S. Vandenberg was recently sunk as the worlds second largest artificial reef in Key Largo. The Vandenberg was crucial to protecting America from missile attacks by providing early warning and Tracking. Vandenberg also served her country by providing tracking for space missions including, the Apollo and Shuttle programs, as well as hundreds of satellite Launches.
Grove Scuba will be diving the beautiful, historic, new wreck on February 6th, 7th. We will be driving down on the 5th at 3:00pm spending the night in Key West. Then the following morning we’ll do two dives on the wreck and return back to Key West. Sunday will be similar to Saturday except that after dives we’ll be returning back to hotel and then return back to Miami. The cost breakdowns are as follows: $180 for accommodations for two nights per person, $85 per day for tanks and diving (*note that’s two tanks and the boat ride), or $105 per day for NITROX tanks and diving (*note that’s two tanks and the boat ride). If you need equipment add $15 to the cost of dive for rental. This wreck offers something for everyone the superstructure of this wreck is at 45’ and the average bottom depth is at 145’. If you’re interested please hurry and reserve your spot quickly as we have only sixteen spots.

Grove Scuba was given the privileged to participate in this year’s Regional Boy Scout Jamboree for the South Florida Council. Our resident Eagle Scout, Chad Johnson proudly represented Grove Scuba to educate the troops on the new merit badges currently offered (scuba diving, salesmanship and first aid) and informed the troops on how they can get involved in the diving world.
We are also working with Sea Scouts and Venturers with the first aid core and elective requirements for the ranger, gold and silver awards. As well as the scuba elective for the ranger award.
