FSU Coastal and Marine Laboratory Lecture Series: Chris Peters

“Science and Diving – SCUBA as a tool for research”
Chris Peters leads the Academic Diving Program at Florida State University, as it celebrates its 50th anniversary. Established in 1975, the program supports and oversees underwater research at FSU, offering scientific diver training to faculty, staff, and students whose research or job responsibilities involve diving.
Chris began his scientific diving career at FSU in 2009, contributing to reef fish ecology research of Dr. Christopher Koenig. After earning his Master of Science in Geographic Information Science from FSU in 2011, he relocated to West Hawai’i to work in education and marine conservation, before returning to FSU in 2016. He is a certified PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer.
In this presentation, Chris will provide an overview of scientific diving at Florida State University and explore the diverse ways scuba diving is used in academic research.
