It's really beautiful down there," said Ken Woehrmann, manager of Atlantis Divers. New owner Michael Weyland reopened the store June 16 in the Sather building at 27 West Main, 8. Atlantis Divers is a sales and service ser-vice store specializing in top of the line snorkeling and scuba diving gear. They also teach classes and rent out equipment to certified divers. "I'm just starting out in the class, myself, and it's been a lot of fun," Woehrmann said. "We're striving to get the youth interested. We'd like to make divers out of them." Night diving and cold-water diving are among the special classes also offered at Atlantis Divers. Because Vernal's swimming pool has been closed, he said classes have been taught at the Roosevelt pool as well as at the Rangely Recreation Center. "We hope to have classes back at the pool here, in Vernal, this winter," he said, anticipating an-ticipating a reopening of the pool when school starts. Divers may practice in swimming pools, but open water certification takes place in the actual setting. "We use Haming Gorge and any of the open lakes to certify," he said. As incentive to give diving and snorkeling try, Woehrmann said Atlantis Divers is offering what they call a free dive experience. "People are welcome to come to a class and do as much as they're comfortable with," he said. This will allow people unfamiliar with technique and gear a relaxed, easy way to become acquainted with it. Besides working with local customers, cus-tomers, Atlantis Divers has been involved in-volved in training physical education educa-tion students at Ihe community college col-lege in Rangely, Colo. Improvements in the quality of equipment available and better certification cer-tification has made diving much safer recently, Woehrmann said. "It is something the whole family can do together." Atlantis Divers is open Monday-Saturday Monday-Saturday from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. year-round. year-round. Stewart to guide tour Arden Stewart will guide a tour through Nine-Mile Canyon.
