Waterproof Survey Paper

These convenient waterproof check sheets are used with your slate to record your fish sightings during a survey dive. It provides a permanent record of each survey and makes transferring your survey data to the online data entry or scanform easy. Sheets are double sided - two dives per sheet (TWA, SAS, TEP, HAW, Fiji/SOP, CIP, EAM), four dives per sheet (CAL, PNW, NE). These are formatted to the standard REEF Survey paper size (6"x17"), and will fit on both the standard yellow REEF slate and the white deluxe slate.

New in 2014 - two types of TWA (Caribbean, Florida, Bahamas) paper: The traditional paper that lists the most frequently sighted species (133 spp) and plenty of space for write-ins and sketches. And new- a longer list of species (205 spp) with minimal extra space. This "longer" format paper is suitable for experienced surveyors who are hoping to minimize the number of write-ins. Both TWA papers are regular size (6"x17") and fit on the standard (yellow) REEF slate (slate available here).

We also offer large format paper (11"x17") for certain areas in the tropical Pacific ($1.50 ea). These paper list a more extensive list of species found in the area, are suitable for experienced surveors in these regions. These paper are formated to fit a custom slate (slate available here) or a standard clipboard. Large-format paper is currently available for: Fiji/South Pacific and several regions/ecotypes of Central Indo-Pacifc (Indonesia, Philippines, Solomon Isl, Australia, etc).
