The mission of SCUBAnauts International is to educate teens in the marine sciences, enabling them to make a positive impact on the environment and empowering them to become tomorrow’s leaders.

Diving Shipwrecks in Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary

The focus of this trip was to engage in science related to shipwrecks in the Great Lakes (specifically Lake Huron). The water was extremely cold, but the shipwrecks underwater were worth the freezing temperatures.

These shipwrecks varied in size and shape, background, location, etc. Each one had a story to tell about where it came from or why it sank. It was so incredible to experience the cold-water diving, which is something most Nauts are not used to, since most SCUBAnauts opportunities to dive are located in the warmer waters.

Helping Oceans Recover

Everything that we had taken part of the past week was already a huge step towards helping the ocean recover; the coral work, the data collection, and the debris cleanup dives. SCUBAnauts has done more than educate me about marine sciences—it has given me a community of likeminded thinkers and people I now consider my best friends, and I know that we are all working towards protecting our oceans.

Full Face Masks and Underwater Communications in Panama City

After the pool training day, FSU-PC took us to a dock by the City Marina and taught us about underwater navigation and communications in the full face mask. I am still, even after a day, so amazed by all the work they do with the full face masks, and how sonars are used to navigate things underwater. I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to work with and gain so much knowledge from amazing leaders.

Reflections on Panama City, FL Summer Mission

“If I was given the opportunity to go on this trip all over again, I would pick up the opportunity in a heart beat.”

I Could Do a Hard Hit, Could You?

Heavy hits are the worst of the worst. They turn of your air rip your regulator out and tangle them take your mask off, undo the BCD buckles, and other issues.
