[GTBUP]

Heads up Great Lakes scuba divers!

Northwestern Michigan College is offering beginning NAS classes starting in May, 2008.

SOC 291C - S/T Nautical Archaeology I

This is the entry-level course to the Nautical Archaeology Society Training Program and is aimed at introducing nautical archaeology to divers and non-divers, and promoting their interest in the subject. It provides a broad-based view of the subject but concentrates on practical archaeological survey. The minimum diving qualification level for those taking part in the pool exercises is CMAS 1-Star or equivalent, e.g. BSAC Ocean Diver, SAA Open Water Diver, or PADI/NAUI Open Water. Students must provide their (own/rent) scuba equipment if they choose to dive. A NAS certificate is awarded upon the successful completion of the class. Group 2 course.

MTW 05/18-05/21 8:00 am-5:00 pm Great Lakes Campus Room 112
TH F 05/18-05/21 time to be announced later.

3.000 Credit Hours
2.000 Lecture hours
1.000 Lab hours


SOC 291D - S/T Nautical Archaeology II

The NAS Part II offers students the opportunity to put into practice some of the things they studied in NAS Part I and is a field archaeology course. Research projects of personal interest are encouraged but most students will carry out the work required for this qualification as part of a group or with other members of their local diving club. In addition to the survey work, the NAS Part II requires that the student demonstrate a commitment to understanding the discipline by attending archaeological conferences. The instructor will assist in project design and execution and students will be allowed to participate in larger projects within the (Proposed) Grand Traverse Bay Underwater Preserve. Foreshore projects will be developed for non divers. Group 2 course.
3.000 Credit Hours
3.000 Lab hours

NAS II is a field study course. Classroom attendance is mandatory on Monday, June 16 from 9am-12pm in GL 112. Field studies are weather dependent and will be determined throughout the semester.

Sure, if they all have the same username and password. It's a corporate account and will be updated by the members who serve on the council. If you were one of the council members, you would have access to the corporate user name and password too (making the count go to 7).

Any member who wishes to respond separately can do so by opening up an account of their own and using a different user name. Any questions to GTBUP will be answered accordingly with an official response.

If you wish to communicate with an individual within GTBUP, it is best to do so with their own user name. If they have none, you may submit your question to info@gtbup.org and it will be passed on to the appropriate person for a response.

Thank you.
