Nice idea for a community! I would be especially interested in sustainable aquaculture and restoration of coral-reefs. Enthusiastic scuba-diver here :)
Thanks! I'm studying marine systems & restoration, so that's right up my alley. And I've been wanting to get into scuba for ages - would love to see anything you have to share on it! :D
Rare to see someone get into such a field of study and not be a scuba diver already 😄
Just put aside some 1 week holiday, maybe try to convince a friend or significant other to join you and do a basic scuba course.
You can of course also do a course locally, but those tend to drag on for a long time and diving in a pool is not very motivating.
Being a flat broke college kid hours from the sea put a bit of a damper on my plans to get started with it 😅
But I'm hoping this summer will afford me a good opportunity.
