With science diver status, you will have the resources available to design and implement your own underwater research project, and you will be eligible to participate on any of the many underwater research projects conducted by the Florida State University, and usually on those conducted by other institutions as well. Students must perform satisfactorily on both the swim test and scuba checkout. A Medical Questionnaire and Diving Physical are required for this course. The questionnaire must be completed on the first night of class and evaluated by the ADP Program Physician, Dr. William Kepper. The Physical may be conducted by Dr. Kepper or your personal doctor, though it must receive final approval by Dr. Kepper.
All costs are the responsibility of the student.
X-rays and other tests are required. Please make your appointment with Anita only, and tell her it is for the FSU diving physical. Map to Dr. Kepper's office is attached. Participation in the entire Diving Seminar is required for ANT 4131 students. There are several required, and then additional recommended, texts for this course.
