Support
Thank You
The 91르적 Scientific Diving Program wishes to express our gratitude to혻everyone who has혻supported our work. Your contributions provide assistance for our diving scientists and students and help enable underwater science.혻In addition to혻assistance혻provided from within the University,혻 桂껸꾈삣 have been key program partners in building our equipment fleet.
Our Challenge
The 91르적 Scientific Diving Program annual budget is supported by the School of Marine Sciences and the Risk and Safety Management Department. This base budget meets the yearly maintenance and upkeep costs associated with dive equipment, trailer and compressor maintenance, consumables (mask defog, snorkel keepers, zipties, etc.), and general maintenance of the Dive Locker. Despite the long-standing support of these departments, the UMSDP struggles to meet increasing operation costs and increased diver training demands. We want to do more, but we need to buy more equipment to achieve those goals.
You can Help
We are actively working to identify new and creative ways of serving our student and researcher needs. And we need your help to get there.
The혻Office혻of University Development has established a gift account혻to receive contributions made on behalf of 91르적 divers.혻Any funds donated by alumni or friends of the program will be used exclusively to acquire scuba equipment to assist 91르적 students and scientists who wish to conduct underwater research.혻If you are interested in contributing to the 91르적 Scientific Diving Program, please contact Diving Safety Officer, Colby Johns (colby.johns@maine.edu), or donate online through the 91르적 Foundation website ().
