Scientific Diving
This course seeks to provide tools in the design of experiments and protocols for underwater sampling, improving buoyancy and underwater navigation techniques.
This includes the correct planning and execution of diving plans up to 25 meters deep, as well as an introduction to the collection and management of ecological data collected following specific scientific diving protocols.
Likewise, advanced diving, rescue diving, and first aid (CPR) and oxygen administration in diving accidents skills are taught.
The course consists of:
-
Theoretical classes
-
Practical workshops
-
Open water field practices

Benefits of the course for the student
This course helps marine scientists in training to acquire valuable skills to adequately carry out underwater experimentation and monitoring activities following international standards dictated by the Mexican Federation of Underwater Activities (FMAS) and the World Underwater Federation (CMAS).
The main objective of this course is to train scientific divers who are capable of conducting underwater monitoring campaigns in different environments and oceanographic conditions. The above following high safety standards.
The course has a workload of 96 hours equivalent to six (6) credits. In addition, by meeting the evaluation requirements and if the student wishes, they would be entitled to obtain the following internationally recognized certifications:
