- Our Purpose
- The Gavia Scuba club is an independent, nonprofit organization,
composed of individual divers. We are not affiliated with any particular dive shop, and do
not certify or formally train in SCUBA or other types of diving. We are dedicated to promoting enjoyment,
fellowship, safety, and knowledge among scuba divers and those interested in the
underwater world.

- Our Name
- Our club name is "Gavia" is the scientific name for the family
of birds who are specialized for swimming and diving. This family of birds lives on the
water, and includes the loons in North America. These birds spend most of their life
diving, sometimes as deep as 100 feet. The picture at the right is Gavia Immer - The
Common Loon of North America.

- The Gavia Scuba Club was formed in 1990, and has grown from about
15 members the first year to an average membership in the last couple years of about
30-40
members. Most members live within a 30-40 mile radius of Cincinnati, Ohio.
