Potts, Leah

Leah Potts is the 2017 OWUSS North American Rolex Scholar. An avid technical diver with an engineering degree, her scholarship year is focused on underwater exploration and technology-based experiences. Leah most recently worked on the survey of Captain Roberts’ Mine, applying her passion for photogrammetry to bring the mine’s artifacts to life. She previously worked at Divers Alert Network, where she conducted research on cave diving fatalities and deep rebreather diver physiology. Leah enjoys progressively building up hours and training on her own rebreather so that she can someday use it to perform photogrammetry on deeper and more remote sites.
