On the island of Curacao, get a taste of real-world marine biology on multiple dives, lab work, and research adventures led by scientists working in the field.
At the CARMABI Research Center in Curaçao, classrooms are more than a bunch of desks inside four walls. They're reef walls teeming with brightly colored marine life and descending to 6000 feet. They're also mangrove channels, seagrass beds, and blindingly white beaches. Students come with a budding interest in the underwater world and, with the guidance of marine biologists, nurture it into a full-blown, hands-on exploration of tropical marine biology.
Master the study and analysis of coral reefs. Dive your way to advanced PADI specialty certifications. Anchor traditional learning with an unrestrained sense of wonder and adventure. Return with, perhaps, the most rewarding two college credits you will ever earn.
