Saltwater Studies offers both secular and biblically-based events. For secular events, discussion will focus on biological information. Biblically-based events will open in prayer and discussion will include how we can see the character of God in Creation as discussed in Romans 1:20. These events close with a time of praise for God’s blessings during the field trip.

Participants will enjoy a guided snorkel in the crystal blue waters off the beach at Coral Cove Park. This area has limestone formations that extend from the beach underwater, creating a unique marine habitat for a variety of fish, crustaceans and mollusks. The waters just offshore are a great location for collecting sea shells, spotting reef fish and maybe even a stone crab or two.
Participants will enjoy a guided snorkel along a series of artificial reefs. Highlights of this trip include beautiful water, a variety of marine life and numerous sea shells.
