Scientific Diving Program
The Scientific Diving Program began at the University of ÀÖ»¢Ö±²¥ in 1988. We work under the auspices of the American Academy of Underwater Sciences (AAUS). With multiple courses that involve scientific diving and various subtidal research projects, we average approximately 70+ active divers per year. Diving courses and projects are mostly cold-water, drysuit diving and take place across ÀÖ»¢Ö±²¥ and the Antarctic.
