Terry Boroff has been diving since 1991 when he earned his original open water certification through Aqua Hut in Toledo, Ohio. His 30-year diving career spans recreational and public safety instruction, dive shop owner, law enforcement diver, and a retired Navy Reserve Ordnance Clearance Diver. He holds current certifications as a SDI/ ERDI/ FRTI Instructor, Paramedic, OUPV Captain, and a Diving Medical Technician.
Scott Hurley and I opened ADDventures In Diving in 2003 as a private Scuba instruction company operating out of my garage. While still staying actively involved in our medical field jobs, we steadily expanded our clientele mainly through word of mouth. Within a few years, we bought our Alkin W31 compressor and started to sell gear out of the "Garage Shop."
In 2009, I decided that we had outgrown the garage and our name; so we moved to 222 Varnfield Drive in the Town of Summerville. Lowcountry Diving LLC would form a strong partnership with local community divers and public safety diving agencies. Our gear lines offered expanded rapidly along with sales and services. Yet, through the years, I realized that we were always primarily instructors at heart; and not as energetic on the business side of owning a dive shop.
At the end of 2015 after much prayer and consultation with family and friends, I made the difficult decision to close the shop at Varnfield Drive and move Lowcountry Diving LLC back to the garage it was born in. I gave up most of the gear lines that we had so heavily invested in; and at the same time made a local Scout troop extremely happy with a donated Bauer Compressor and air cascade system! I have no regrets though, and enjoyed the blessing and experience of running a retail dive store. Thankfully, we're still pumping air from that original Alkin compressor; while best of all, back to our love of just plain teaching SCUBA!
Thanks for checking us out! Terry Boroff
