January, 16th 2012 - Learn to Dive SCUBA Class - Ocean City, MD

Our goal is to make getting scuba certified easy and fun! We understand that a long, drawn out scuba class isn't for everyone, and most people don't need it. Our one day classes are designed to get you the best scuba training efficiently and maximize the use of your time. We will provide all the SCUBA equipment as well as a mask & fins for you to use.

At the end of the course you will have completed the classroom component (via online E-Learning) as well as the pool confined water component of the PADI Open Water Course. You will receive a signed referral so you can complete the final Open Water Checkout Dives with us on our boat or wherever else you wish.

Shark Tagging in Ocean City, MD

Data from shark tagging programs provide valuable information on migration. The need for international cooperation is underscored by the fact that many shark species have wide ranging distributions, frequently traverse national boundaries, and are exploited by multinational fisheries. Shark tagging is also an important means to increase our biological understanding of sharks and to obtain information for rational resource management. The tagging of sharks(and other aquatic animals) provides information on stock identity, movements and migration (including rates and routes), abundance, age and growth (including verification/validation of age determination methods), mortality, and behavior.
