CSN’s Scuba Gang is a family affair growing in both size and impact. The newest certified gang members are Joey Carvelli ’28 whose sister Adrianna ‘26 is also a diver, Valentina Kontos ’28 whose sister Anastasia ‘26 and both parents are divers, and Nash Sterret ‘28. Nash is the first in his family to be certified, but his dad is interested in taking the plunge after snorkeling alongside his son.

CSN families and friends exploring the ocean together make memories that last a lifetime. That shared time alone is a great reason to dive, but Scuba Gang is about much more. The club participates in coral restoration out-planting events throughout the year. Students also participate in ocean debris removal dives; and in the spring, the club will work with reef.org to be trained to remove invasive lionfish. Next summer CSN divers will collaborate with “Youth Diving with a Purpose” to gather data on the substrate, invertebrates, fish, and coral in the Florida Keys Marine Sanctuary.
Congratulations to the four Scuba Gang scholarship recipient teachers Mr. Major and Ms. MacLean and students Lizzie Howard ’27 and Josie Byers’25! Welcome to the gang!
There are two SCUBA certification courses offered in the spring. For more information email jstevens@communityschoolnaples.org for more information.
