Land & Sea Experience
Some of the richest ocean habitats are where the land and sea meet. Students participating in TIDES Land & Sea will complete Ocean First Education's Marine Invertebrates: The Other 97% course. In addition, students will either take Marine Mammals: A Life Aquatic course or Sea Turtle Ecology depending on their expedition location. The Nitrox and Perfect Buoyancy SCUBA specialties are a prerequisite for this expedition. These prerequisites can be added onto the cost of the expedition and students can receive instruction through Ocean First. The SSI Specialties Computer Diving and Equipment Techniques are included in the program cost. Past Land & Sea expeditions have gone to the Florida Keys, Monterey, California, the Galapagos, and Sea of Cortez, Mexico.
