Learn how to identify some of the SoCal fish, invertebrates and algae you see on your dives. We'll be using common names, not scientific names, and focus on how to ID each critter. Classes help divers learn how to become citizen scientists and help monitor California marine life on their recreational dives. Data gathered goes into an online database to help students, researchers, scientists, etc. (see www.reef.org) * These classes will increase your enjoyment of diving! * Geared towards regular divers (this is not a marine biology course but rather a fun way for divers to learn what they're seeing underwater) * Classes are guaranteed fun or your money back....(hmmm!) * You will be asked to print out your own handouts to bring to class for notetaking purposes. (link will be sent later) * Instructor: Janna Nichols * Classes are free but you must register online here: www.pnwscuba.com/critterwatchers/classregistration.htm
