But those learning while in Bermuda will have to snorkel until they are certified. All divers at BBSR must have the proper paperwork filled out. These forms can be printed from the education forms page . Since many BBSR staff enjoy diving, the DSO organizes a recreational dive for the BBSR community every month.
Students are welcome to participate.

Other Information BBSR will apply for immigration permission for students to enter Bermuda for the purpose of studying in the Fall program. Bermuda's Immigration laws are strict, so no extensions to students' stays can be granted beyond a few days. Additionally, participants will not be permitted to take a job while studying in Bermuda.
