Forfar Marine Science Program

Live on beachfront property, study on the crystal clear Caribbean waters, and earn your PADI Open and Advanced scuba certifications during our 6-week marine science program through International Field Studies. Forfar Field Station has been home to unique field study experiences for students since 1970 and we are thrilled to utilize the past 50 years of experience to support our very own program designed to give young adults a professional and academic experience of a lifetime. Students will partake in lecture based activities and land/sea excursions throughout the island as they explore the wonders of Andros. Students will earn internationally recognized certifications and a certificate of completion. Our 6-week program is offered in the spring and fall each year making it the perfect for those taking a Gap Year or semester off. The fall session can be perfect for recent college graduates looking to gain experience in their field or undergraduates who are taking a semester off. Located on Andros Island, with the highest concentration of blue holes in the world and bordering the 3rd largest fringing barrier reef, this unique opportunity is sure to provide students with the experience they need to achieve their career goals.
