OA Ocean Adventure
The Order of the Arrow, in cooperation with the
Florida Sea Base is offering you an opportunity to cheerfully serve
the greatest ecosystem on our planet; the ocean. Under the direction
of the National Marine Sanctuary and the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), experienced Florida Sea Base staff
with strong Order of the Arrow backgrounds will lead participants on a
two week scuba diving adventure in the beautiful waters of the Florida
Keys.
The program is a 13 day experience in which
participants will have the opportunity to explore and serve the
undersea world. One-half of the Ocean Adventure program will be PADI
SCUBA training and certification, which will be held at the Florida
Sea Base. The remaining portion of the program will focus on rendering
cheerful service to the ocean marine life and coral reefs of the
Florida Keys.
PADI SCUBA certification requires a significant
amount of independent study, which will need to be completed prior to
arrival at the Florida Sea Base. The service will consist of a variety
of projects, as defined by the National Marine Sanctuary and NOAA,
some of which will be underwater cleaning or monitoring projects. In
addition to SCUBA certification and undersea service, participants
will strengthen leadership skills, learn more about marine
environments, strengthen understanding of the Order of the Arrow, and
explore the history of the beautiful Florida Keys.
