Dear all,
as a member of the EU-funded project Green Bubbles and one of the
trainers involved in the course below, I am pleased to share a piece of
news on progress towards a more sustainable diving system. The text is
taken from the post at this link: http://www.greenbubbles.eu/?p=1179
where further details are given as captions in the photogallery. Please
do not hesitate to contact me or the other organisers/trainers for any
question or for further information.
Sincerely yours,
Martina
The first university course on Citizen Science and SCUBA diving just
successfully concluded at the Polytechnic University of Marche (Ancona,
Italy – new PADI Educational Facility) with the support by and
collaboration of PADI, DAN Europe, Green Bubbles, Reef Check Italia
onlus and Project AWARE.
The course, aimed at creating a new generation of professional divers at
the interface between business and research, was open to
undergraduate/PhD students or graduates in Marine Sciences holding at
least a Dive Master certification of any internationally recognised
Certifying Agency. It covered topics such as environmental and medical
Citizen Science, technology and marketing to promote Citizen Science in
the diving industry, business diversification in SCUBA diving, and
provided all participants with Reef Check Italia onlus and PADI
Researcher Diver certifications. The latter is a new specialty course
that can only be taught by PADI Instructors holding a qualifying
university degree. Intensive training was given through classroom and
field-work sessions, thereby exposing all participants to theoretical
background and real-life scenarios.
Dates and programme for next year’s course are already being defined!
