FAMILIES · SCHOOLS · CO-OPS · THROUGHOUT FLORIDA
Adventure Kits
Twenty-four ocean topics with the experiments, specimens and tools included. Buy one kit at a time, or subscribe and get a new one every month.
Homeschool Adventures
Marine science as your whole science curriculum, at three reading levels so every child in the house is on the same expedition.
Field Trips
We bring the ocean to your classroom, or take your students out to it — real specimens, real tools, real fieldwork.
Family Scuba
PADI training from a first breath in the pool to open water certification, taught to parents and children together.
A new ocean adventure at your door, every month
Pick your child’s age and their first ocean topic. That kit ships right away, and a new Marine Biology Adventure Kit arrives every month after — five hands-on activities, collectible flash cards and a certificate with your child’s name on it. $45.99 a month, free US shipping, cancel anytime.
Pick age + first kit
Age 4–6, 7–9 or 10+, and Sharks, Sea Turtles, Coral Reefs or Marine Mammals to start. Siblings can each have their own.
It ships on the 13th
Your first kit goes out within two business days. After that a new topic ships on the 13th of every month — twenty-four in all.
Open, explore, repeat
Five experiments, flash cards, a certificate. No planning, no shopping list, no printing. Finish all 24 and your child earns the Jr. Marine Biologist Certification.
Field trips they’ll continue to talk about all year long
Students handle real specimens, use real tools and ask a real marine biologist the questions they’ve been saving up. We come to you, or you come to the water.

Homeschool co-op days
A marine biologist comes to your co-op meet-up with the specimens, the tools and one Jr. Marine Biologist topic — taught at three levels so every age in the room is on the same expedition.

- Half-day or full-day formats
- Step Up families welcome
Make the ocean your science year
Twenty-four topics, one a month, each a self-contained expedition: a lesson, the vocabulary, an experiment and a hands-on project. It drops into your science block with no prep on your part — and every topic comes in three reading levels, so your 6-year-old and your 11-year-old are on the same adventure.
Ages 4–6
Read-aloud lessons, sensory experiments, simple science.
Ages 7–9
Independent reading, real vocabulary, experiments they run themselves.
Ages 10–12
Research projects, ecosystems, conservation and the science behind it.
Marine Biology Adventure Kits — by mail, every month
Not in Florida? The ocean comes to you. A new topic arrives every month with five or more hands-on activities, collectible flash cards and a certificate with your child’s name on it. Digital download versions are available worldwide.

Started by a boat captain who couldn't find it anywhere
“I wanted to teach kids about our oceans in a fun and exciting way — a way I couldn’t find anywhere around South Florida. So I created one.”
I became a SCUBA instructor and camp counselor in the islands, then moved home to South Florida and started running ocean adventure camps in 2009. Thousands of children snorkeled, sailed, surfed and dived with us over the years — and the twenty-four kits started life as the lessons from those camps, tested on real kids before they were ever put in a box.
