You are invited to sign up for Reef Check California's last 2009 training course! Reef Check California is a Californian non-profit organization that has trained 300+ divers statewide in a monitoring protocol that assesses the rocky reefs of California to help marine managers make more informed decisions with our resources. You can take our course, learn how to identify, count, and size many of the critters seen while diving, and then utilize your skills on our planned survey charters and beach dives. Reef Check diving is a great way to learn more about your diving environment, is a perfect avenue for diving new locations in California, and will improve your dive skills (such as proper buoyancy and underwater navigation) tremendously.
The course is two weekends long and costs $200. This includes one weekend of classroom and pool training, two three-dive days on a Monterey charter, your own UW data slate, transect tape, and measuring calipers, a training manual, flash cards of our 73 indicator organisms, and either a NAUI or PADI Reef Check Ecodiver specialty certification card!
The dates and locations of this course are:
July 18-19 at Sonoma State University
July 25-26 on the Cypress Sea out of Monterey
If you are interested please sign up online: Reef Check California Training Schedule
Please PM me with any questions.
If you can't make this course check our website (Reef Check - Saving Reefs Worldwide) in the fall for our 2010 training dates!
See you in the water!
