Your first kit ships within 3 business days. After that a new topic ships on the 1st of every month — twenty-four in all.
Open, explore, repeat
Five experiments, flash cards, a certificate. No planning, no shopping list, no printing. Finish all 24 and your child earns the Jr. Marine Biologist Certification.
Field trips they’ll continue to talk about all year long
Students handle real specimens, use real tools and ask a real marine biologist the questions they’ve been saving up. We come to your classroom, run after-school clubs on your campus, or take your students out to the water.

Started by a boat captain who couldn't find it anywhere
“I wanted to teach kids about our oceans in a fun and exciting way — a way I couldn’t find anywhere around South Florida. So I created one.”
I became a SCUBA instructor and camp counselor in the islands, then moved home to South Florida and started running ocean adventure camps in 2009. Thousands of children snorkeled, sailed, surfed and dived with us over the years — and the twenty-four kits started life as the lessons from those camps, tested on real kids before they were ever put in a box.

The ocean is right there
