Putting the DIVER in DIVERSITY. 🤿 Scripps Institution of Oceanography scripps_ocean at UC San Diego promotes diversity and inclusion in scientific diving through the SCUBA DIVERsity Fellowship Program. Launched in 2022 by Erica Ferrer and Alyssa Griffin, the program increases access to scuba training for students who want to contribute to research and explore the ocean but face barriers to joining the dive community, including cultural, physical, emotional or financial ones. “As a leader in scientific diving, Scripps has an opportunity to help build a more inclusive future — not only for scientific divers but for the diving community as a whole.” - Keiara Auzenne, director of diversity initiatives at Scripps Oceanography.
