Field Education Courses

The UH Diving Safety Program works with the UH Marine Option Program (MOP) to provide students with dive training and hands-on field research experiences. By combining dive safety instruction with real-world underwater research opportunities, students build the skills, confidence, and knowledge needed to explore marine ecosystems, conduct meaningful scientific studies, and become leaders in Ocean Sciences.

Participation in UH field courses requires Diver in Training or Scientific Diver authorization. Please consult with the appropriate program coordinators and course instructors to confirm required authorizations and registration deadlines.
