"When the instructor asked how many kids had snorkeled before and only about 10 - 15% of the kids raised their hands. The excitement when one of my groups got off the boat and told me they saw a shark, two barracudas, a HUGGGGE fish (Goliath Grouper), and a ray. They were so excited!"

"Hands down the best staff and more educational experience we have ever seen in our teaching careers. Everything was appropriately challenging while also meeting the students where they were. The staff could reframe and adjust the levels of responses to meet and affirm our students. Life changing experience for the students and adult chaperones alike. Thank y..." Read more

"My students will forever say "icy-spicy" instead of "cold" because of our wonderful group leaders. Our leaders took an unfavorable situation (chilly water) & made it into a silly & positive experience. "

"The staff was flexible and offered alternatives when the weather was too windy. I have been bringing students to Marine Lab for over 10 years and we were able to participate in new activities that we haven't done before. The turtle activity was a big hit and so was the walk to the mangroves to collect marine debris (October 2024 trip). My favorite activity..." Read more

"The information presented in the labs and classrooms is very strong! Kids enjoy the interactive approach the best. All instructors were good Lexie, Meg and Erin. Erin is particularly strong with the kids. She kept our boat of 15 boys engaged, informed and in line but in a cool, relatable way. She was very patient and thorough (with ALL of us!). She was very..." Read more

"The program exceeded my expectations. I was worried about fitting it on grade level, the staff nailed it. They knew they were tired and did not get discouraged. Getting the kids out of the boat and teaching in the water was the best. Mote coming to teach about the coral reef was exceptional."

"Your staff went above and beyond to make sure our special needs student had the greatest experience of his life. He and his mom will always have this experience together to remember. During the four days he went from being unable to lagoon snorkel to being comfortable in open water. He was a hero in the classroom settings, and he opened up and spoke compl..." Read more
