🌊 Lizzie McNamee: The legal boundaries of scientific diving

As divers, we all know that being underwater is good for our souls. However, there is little research on how being underwater can change the way students perceive their environment. In her talk, Lizzie will discuss the legal boundaries of scientific diving and how this kind of training can have impacts beyond just creating new scientists. She'll touch on some of the local and international research that BU divers are doing and what makes the BU Marine Program a leader in experiential education.

Lizzie is the Dive Safety Program Manager in Environmental Health & Safety and the Dive Safety Officer for the Boston University Scientific Diving Program.

Diving in New England

What is it like to dive New England?

The video below tries to convey a sense of what diving in New England is like; cold water, low vis, and great wildlife. It was produced by William Skelly and the underwater photos in it were taken over the course of five years by Steve Bigelow, Steven Jaques, Robert Landy, and Bobby Joe. (Video subtitles are available.)

iDive New England is the ultimate SCUBA community resource for diving in New England, where you can find dive site info, charter boats, local clubs and shops, regulations and much more.
