BOO!⁠
⁠
Our Dive Into Science team of young scientific divers got spooky at Catalina Island. Although we are serious about their training as scuba divers and scientists, it’s important to make the work fun too👻⁠
⁠
Have fun this weekend and be safe out there, divers!⁠

Dive Into Science is our youth program that teaches ocean literacy and scuba diving skills while increasing diversity in the sciences. So far, we have worked with Foster and Transitional Age Youth in Los Angeles and Antelope Valley, and North Coast Tribes.⁠
⁠
Our participants recently dove at Casino Point in Catalina to train transect line skills. This included maintaining neutral buoyancy along a line while noting the different types of substrates, algae, invertebrates, and fish present. ⁠
⁠
Donate to Reef Check to support this ongoing program, and stay tuned for updates!⁠
