               <p>Diving With a Purpose\u00a0 (DWP) offers a new adventure and a different challenge for veteran divers \u2013 maritime archaeology. The field of archaeology received fame with the movie Raiders of<em>\u00a0Lost\u00a0 Ark\u00a0<\/em>and its swashbuckling hero Indiana Jones. But that was mostly glamour! Archaeology is a precise science that requires painstaking patience and precision.<\/p><p>The\u00a0 DWP\u00a0 maritime archaeology course is an intense week-long program that teaches the basics of underwater archaeology, including underwater mapping and trilateration. (Trilateration is the method archaeologists use to map and measure various sections of the wreck.) During the course,\u00a0 you can spend up to 1\u00bd\u00a0 hours surveying a 6\u2019x 6\u2019 section of a\u00a0 site, not moving from that area. The work includes fanning the seafloor to expose the wreck and documenting the site using a ruler, pencil and slate with Mylar paper.<\/p><p>This type of diving is not for everyone.\u00a0 It\u00a0 takes diligence and concentration. However, the work is very rewarding when you know that you are responsible for preserving and cataloging history. As divers, we should always look for ways to increase our knowledge and thirst for the sport through advanced training and specialty diving courses like underwater archaeology.<\/p>

Mission:\u00a0<\/b>To research and restore the coral ecosystem and to educate and empower traditionally disenfranchised people and coastal communities using outreach, data collection, and scientific study.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">DWP-CARES is working in partnership with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuaries (NOAA-FKNMS), Mote marine lab\/I.CARE located in Islamorada, Green Island Challenge, Guanaja Honduras. Our program encompasses a long-term<br \/>reef monitoring initiative and prepares participants for the following:<\/p><p>\u25cf Climate change awareness and climate leadership training<br \/>\u25cf Comprehensive reef ecology knowledge development<br \/>\u25cf Key reef species identification skills<br \/>\u25cf Reef monitoring &amp; survey diving techniques<br \/>\u25cf Data collection, analytics, reporting &amp; visualization skills<br \/>\u25cf Restorative coral and sponge outplanting<\/p><p class=\"p4\">This program is committed to providing a foundation for participants to be able to identify key coral reef species, communicating to the public the effect of climate change on our coastal and reef ecosystems, facilitating and communicating findings (data) from reef monitoring surveys and developing participants as leaders in conservation.<\/p><p>This year\u2019s DWP-CARES program is focused on building proficiency in the area of ecosystem data collection protocols.\u00a0 Our program will be divided into two sections \u2014 a virtual module scheduled periodically over the next 5 months to prepare participants for the subsequent in-water training module that will build on the skills we studied virtually.\u00a0<\/p>                        <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n\n                <\/div><!-- .elementskit-card END -->\n\n

               <p>Youth Diving With A Purpose (YDWP) participants gather at different diving locations and learn underwater archaeology with DWP instructors. This program mirrors the adult program listed above for DWP. But the mission of YDWP goes beyond underwater archaeological education. We will always look for ways to challenge interests and broaden knowledge related to our vast aquatic environment, but we also look for ways to empower our youth.<br \/>The youth spend their downtime interviewing, journaling and studying, and they are expected to share their YDWP journey with other youth in their communities once they graduate and return home. This outreach has the potential to reach diverse youth in communities across the country with the expectation of stimulating interest in scuba diving, marine science, history, journalism and technology.<br \/>The YDWP program is also committed to empowering minority coastal communities by providing them with opportunities. Many of the youth from these communities do not swim and have taken little advantage of the water-related \u201cwonders\u201d in their backyard. By establishing relationships in these communities, YDWP members, as part of their training, are required to share their experience with schools and community groups. The YDWP participant, who is invaluable in advancing the goals of the program, is encouraged to speak to media outlets in their schools or other approved media outlets, as well as related clubs and activities as deemed appropriate. YDWP participants who demonstrate initiative and commitment to the marine science community are considered for training as a DWP instructor. Ultimately, we hope to inspire local youth to become environmentally conscious and take advantage of the many opportunities at their disposal.<br \/>Upon completion of the program, youth trainees become certified Underwater Advocates, hopefully, intrigued by history, respectful of marine life, and buoyed with the interest to become new storytellers of their great experience with the sea.<\/p>                        <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n\n                <\/div><!-- .elementskit-card END -->\n\n                \n                <div class=\"elementskit-card \">\n                    <div class=\"elementskit-card-header\" id=\"primaryHeading-1-c65b83e\">\n                        <a href=\"#collapse-6c9b1e369dfad5f47679\" class=\"ekit-accordion--toggler elementskit-btn-link collapsed\" data-ekit-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#Collapse-6c9b1e369dfad5f47679\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"Collapse-6c9b1e369dfad5f47679\">\n                            \n                            <span class=\"ekit-accordion-title\">What to Expect<\/span>\n\n                            \n                                <div class=\"ekit_accordion_icon_group\">\n                                    <div class=\"ekit_accordion_normal_icon\">\n                                        <!-- Normal Icon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"icon icon-down-arrow1\"><\/i>                                    <\/div>\n\n                                    <div class=\"ekit_accordion_active_icon\">\n                                        <!-- Active Icon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"icon icon-up-arrow\"><\/i>                                    <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n\n                            \n                                                    <\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n\n                    <div id=\"Collapse-6c9b1e369dfad5f47679\" class=\" collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"primaryHeading-1-c65b83e\" data-parent=\"#accordion-69dfad5f47679\">\n\n                        <div class=\"elementskit-card-body ekit-accordion--content\">\n                            <ul><li>A SCUBA setting<\/li><li>Learning underwater investigative and research techniques<\/li><li>Discovering and analyzing with other experienced divers<\/li><li>Diving a wreck site at 15 \u2013 25 feet depth<\/li><li>Developing skills and techniques employed in underwater cartography<\/li><li>Gaining trilateration mapping skills<\/li><li>Contributing to In Situ drawings<\/li><li>Drafting planimetric\u00a0 site\u00a0 plans<\/li><\/ul>                        <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n\n                <\/div><!-- .elementskit-card END -->\n\n                \n                <div class=\"elementskit-card \">\n                    <div class=\"elementskit-card-header\" id=\"primaryHeading-2-c65b83e\">\n                        <a href=\"#collapse-fb79c3869dfad5f47679\" class=\"ekit-accordion--toggler elementskit-btn-link collapsed\" data-ekit-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#Collapse-fb79c3869dfad5f47679\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"Collapse-fb79c3869dfad5f47679\">\n                            \n                            <span class=\"ekit-accordion-title\">Requirements<\/span>\n\n                            \n                                <div class=\"ekit_accordion_icon_group\">\n                                    <div class=\"ekit_accordion_normal_icon\">\n                                        <!-- Normal Icon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"icon icon-down-arrow1\"><\/i>                                    <\/div>\n\n                                    <div class=\"ekit_accordion_active_icon\">\n                                        <!-- Active Icon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"icon icon-up-arrow\"><\/i>                                    <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n\n                            \n                                                    <\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n\n                    <div id=\"Collapse-fb79c3869dfad5f47679\" class=\" collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"primaryHeading-2-c65b83e\" data-parent=\"#accordion-69dfad5f47679\">\n\n                        <div class=\"elementskit-card-body ekit-accordion--content\">\n                            <ul><li>Certification as a scuba diver from an internationally recognized certification agency<\/li><li>30 logged dives minimally, ten (10) of which must be ocean dives and six (6) of which must have been logged in the last year<\/li><li>Dive accident insurance\u00a0 (i.e. DAN)<\/li><li>Your own dive gear\u00a0 (minus tank &amp;
