Research Project

[Beldiver]

Saw A Thread A While Back About A Research Project
Divers Could Go To And Help Out. Sounded Interesting And I
Was Wondering If Anyone Had Heard Of It.
I Would Be Interested To Know:
Dive Qualification Required
Location
Cost
And How Long You Stay

Thanks................

There actually are quite a few things, you need to be more specific. Here are a couple I know about:



Project Reef- on going fish counts

Here is a good article about a lot of volunteer ocean stuff:

There also is a major research project that is sponsered by a group in england I can't for the life of me remember the name of it though. It is like a 6 week program and costs about 1500 pounds which is about $3000. I think there name has the word blue in it, I just did a quick search on the internet and couldn't come up with it. I believe that might be the one you are thinking of- as I believe I heard about it from SCUBA board.

Good luck... hope this helps.
