"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

SEA LAB - DEERFIELD TEEN CENTER
"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

"Our autistic student, who your instructors and staff worked so brilliantly with last year, absolutely blossomed through the rest of the school year, and was able come out himself due so much from his experience at MarineLab. 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

"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 experience that I had at MarineLab is etched in my memory forever. 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

"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
