MLML's fall AAUS Science Diving course is coming to an end, and what better way finish than with a pair of boat dives from our own R\/V John Martin.<\/p>\n

As part of the course, students get certified in Nitrox diving, a gas mix with a higher percentage of oxygen than normal air. This mix allows for longer bottom times and decreased surface intervals, which is a huge advantage for conducting research underwater.<\/p>\n

Last week we were lucky enough to have our last dives of the semester in Carmel Bay, at Pescadero Wash Rock and outer Copper Roof House.<\/p>\n
