Study schooling in a whole different kind of school – a 46-foot floating classroom, lab and home. Hop aboard our catamaran yacht and discover the wonders of the underwater realm.
St. Kitts, Statia, St. Barts and Saba. To some, these may sound like exciting ports-of-call on a Caribbean cruise. To you, and the marine scientist in you, they are places to discover thriving reefs and diverse ecosystems, and come face to face with an abundance of marine life. On this voyage, learn marine ecology, oceanography, and marine park management. Record animal behavior. Dive a sunken vessel. And collect vital data for the REEF Fish Survey Project. Plus, there’s even time for a hike into the crater of a dormant volcano – as if you lacked excitement. Prepare for a hands-on, untethered marine biology voyage in a classroom like no other.
“The underwater combination of marine studies and advanced dive certifications offered a perfect and exciting educational mix.” — Shelley and Harold Schenker, Asheville, NC
