"The trips were great! The kids loved finding the animals and the shipwreck. One of the staff members was amazing with a student that was terrified of being in the ocean. She lead the student around on her buoy and kept her calm."

"I think my favorite memory was getting to the reef, in not-so-great weather, watching the students step out of their comfort zone and into the water. I felt safe, and truly felt the students were safe. I also really enjoyed the students looking for life in the rocks, wading in the water. They had a great time and were so engaged."

"One student who struggles swimming turned around in the water and looked at me and said this is the best field trip ever! We are loving our time here."

"It was too windy to go to the reef, so we did the island/beach/mud instead. The kids loved it!"

"Amazing experience all around! Staff was fantastic. Coming from an all girls school, I loved that there was female staff as captains on the boats. The teachers had such great energy and that enthusiasm spills over into everything else!"

"We have one student that struggles to focus in the classroom setting. He was so engaged and participated fully while being instructed on the boat trip out and again during the hands on specimen lesson after snorkeling. It is beautiful to see a student shine in a new environment. Thank you for providing such a great learning opportunity!"

"MarineLab's attentiveness toward our ESE students was our favorite thing about the program. All in all, marine Lab is an excellent mean to expose our students to Marine Life that otherwise they would never know. Marine Lab is a program that all students should take a part in it, specially living in South Florida where we are surrounded by water and different..." Read more

"Our students were initially hesitant to take the swim test, as many were non-swimmers or had never been in water that deep. The instructors worked patiently with each student, guiding them step by step as they entered the water and teaching them how to glide confidently. They also ensured that all students wore life vests and wetsuits, creating a safe and po..." Read more

It was remarkable. By spring, he participated in a try SCUBA component we have in our ocean science class, and he actually SCUBAed..." Read more

"I had 3 students who probably would have never experienced their own Florida Bay without your program. Although it's difficult to imagine our backyard, the bay, and not getting to know it. There are kids who don't have the opportunity to "dive" in. You facilitated a whole shift in their perspective of where they live and the ecosystems right at their snor..." Read more
