Neighborhood: Dongan Hills

(718) 667-9749

Lee's is a SI landmark and John Ares has negotiated a deal whereby we only have to spend $150 to use their private room. Thank you, John!

As far as the Captain Zero Scholarship Fund, we are still looking for people who want to scuba dive in the Northeastern United States but may not have the money to take a dive class.

In memory of Captain Joe "Zero" Terzuoli, a Diving Scholarship has been created for those who want to learn to dive but may not be able to afford it.

The application process is easy, just give us your name and email address and tell us why you want to learn to scuba dive in the Northeast and we will forward a formal application. Anybody applying under the age of 18 must have parental consent.

Alternatively, if you want to make a contribution to the Captain Zero Memorial Scholarship Fund, you can do that on this website as well, through PayPal.

This project is being administered as a Memorial to Captain Joe "Zero" Terzuoli through the Staten Island Sport Divers, a NYS non-profit Corporation, so if you have any questions please call SISD Club President Steve Lombardo at 718-720-8299 who will be happy to answer them.
