This semester long class is designed to train individuals to a level of knowledge and ability that qualifies them to enter the Science Diving program at FSU and begin to learn how to safely collect data underwater. Persons taking the class for strictly recreational reasons will be taught to a level that exceeds what is offered by retail dive stores. Certified divers are encouraged to enroll to broaden their knowledge of diving, improve their diving skills, and to become better, safer divers. Students are required to attend the Monday evening lectures and one of the six offered pool sections each week. The section you enroll in will determine your day and time to be in the pool.
All sections meet together for the lecture presentation.
For information on class meeting times, meeting locations, and seat availability go to the Course Lookup System . These events will be approximately 100 miles away from campus and held on weekends. Students are responsible for providing their own transportation and paying any dive site, or dive boat fees that may be applicable to the planned activity. A summary of estimated costs beyond tuition, lab fee, and books will follow. Each week, the lecture session will begin and end with a short quiz.
