The 2011 Frank Ski Kids Foundation Planet Green Marine Biology Science Excursion will take place in Nassau Bahamas. A total of ten students will be selected to travel on our International Science Excursion to study the Marine Eco System in Nassau, Bahamas July 16th-23rd, 2011.
The trip will include scuba lessons from Staurt Cove Divers and students will earn their PADI Open Water Dive Certification. The Excusion will also include a day trip to The Island School in Eleuthera. The Island School was founded in 1998 as a result of the Cape Eleuthera Marine Conservation Project.
