"The program involved a lot of group/team work, which taught me a lot about dealing with others, leadership, being cooperative, adjusting to circumstances, listening to what others have to say, and learning from them. . . In many ways, the marine biology program helped me to learn about myself." -- Isabel, an Ocean Matters student	Prerequisites for the Program Students need no prior SCUBA experience to attend Ocean Matters, but they must be in good physical health for SCUBA and supply evidence of such through submitting a physician signed health form.
