Program Reviews:
Winter Break 2024 Participant
This program completely balanced the aspects of culture, education, and fun all in one. Every day, there was something new to see and do, with the guidance of a great professor! My favorite part was the active identification of marine organisms on multiple daily dives.

Rianon M Wallace-Demby, Winter Break 2018 Participant
What really helped me on the study abroad was the lectures after our dives, being able to discuss what we saw, working directly with the Roatan Institute for Marine Sciences, and that the professor brought along an underwater writing pad to write down and point out the specific organisms we were seeing.

Winter Break 2025 Participant
One of the things that I found most rewarding about this study abroad was that throughout the week our professor encouraged us to identify everything we could see on our dives which seemed tricky at first, but by the end of the trip I was able to quickly identify a lot of the species I was seeing which was cool because it showed me that my studying and work to learn identifications was paying off.
