 Dive the Taylor Model Basin

Dive the Taylor Model Basin

The Taylor Model basin is a pool on the Carderock Navy Base - onel like you've never seen before!  This pool is nearly a mile long and is used to test model subs for the Navy.  There are some upcoming events taking place in the model basin and they are looking for a few able bodies to come in and dive and help clean the basin.

 

This is a pretty cool opportunity to dive something incredibly unique.  If you are interested in helping, email us at diving@atlanticedge.com - we are compiling a list right now and we will schedule a date and time to go over and dive.  In all likelihood the dive(s) will take place Thursdays and Fridays after work and on Saturdays.

 

Requirements: must be a certified diver and US citizen
