Chris Mueller, a certified Scuba Diver, is spending the summer at the Eighth Lake Campground and he is hoping to interest other divers in the area to join a scuba diving club to explore the lakes and ponds of the Fulton Chain.

According to Mueller, he would also be able to perform light salvage operations, such as retrieving a motor from a boat.

“Any of the lakes of the Fulton Chain are definitely open for diving and light salvage operations,” Mueller said.

He said that Eighth Lake would definitely be one of the diving destinations for the club due to its 60 to 70 foot depth.

He said he would also like to get back to Bug Lake, outside of the Eighth Lake Campground.

“It is trail access only, but it’s an easy trail and you can cart equipment on it easily,” he said.

Mueller, who has been diving for15 years, earned his Advanced Scuba Diving Certification when he worked for a scuba diving shop in Salt Lake City as a marketing and tour director.

He lives in Port Leyden during the winter months.

Anyone interested in joining the Eighth Lake Divers can call him at (315) 348-5095.
