Dive into Saltwater State Park's vibrant marine ecosystem at our upcoming REEF Marine Life Top 25 event. This unique experience offers an engaging educational journey through the park’s diverse habitats, guided by the expertise of REEF, the Reef Environmental Education Foundation.
Participants will learn to identify the park's top 25 fish and marine critters, contributing to valuable long-term data through REEF surveys.
Autumn is a wonderful time to dive, and this is the perfect opportunity to practice your newly refreshed fish ID skills from the Zoom class on Thursday November 14. (register if you haven't already). But you don't have to attend the class to come to this dive.
We will provide identification photos and survey kits if needed.
Advanced dive with lots to see and make your dive count!
