"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 have been bringing students here since the early 2000's and while many things have changed over the years, the core program that introudces the students to the environments of the Keys remains. At the end of the week students are confident in the water, know more about how their actions impact the oceans and will go on to share this knowledge and new pass..." Read more

"The staff! Hands. Down. No. Contest. Y'all are AMAZING! Oh! I forgot to mention Rachel on the last page - She was wonderful about checking in with us and making sure we didn't need adjustments and such. Pat too - he didn't work with our group, but he was friendly and engaged with us some."

"Last week was an amazing week with our first day snorkel on the most perfect water day. Seeing the reef in real time was a great learning experience that I'll be able to take back to my students and talk about our specific coastal ecology here in Florida. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly and I would highly recommend taking your class there if you are ab..." Read more

The combination of labs, field trips and lectures have left me knowing that I have to take action in the preservation of marine and coastal resources. It makes a world of difference to experience these ecosystems first hand and realize that it's not just a fight for them but a fight for m..." Read more

This is a hands-on experience, where you will open your eyes to the importance of Marine Life and how we as humans affect those organisms. As a teacher or instructor, you will be getting so many ideas of activities you can do to make your classes more dynamic and..." Read more

"Morning weather prevented us from taking our swim test or going on our first snorkeling trip. The MarineLab staff was patient and helpful. They jumped in right away with two hands-on lab activities to keep our kids occupied. We loved the plankton race activity! It's exactly the kind of activity we do at our school � little instruction, lots of experimentatio..." Read more

"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
