The
r/v Sea World UCLA, operated by a U.S. Coast Guard licensed captain,
is a long-range research vessel that provides an ideal platform for marine
research in the Southern California Bight and for transport and living
quarters for terrestrial research on the Channel Islands.
The aft hold has been modified for use as a dry lab.
SCUBA
diving is supported aboard ship for up to 12 divers.
For cruises that involve SCUBA, a dive plan must be submitted to
the UCLA Marine Science Center in advance for approval by the UCLA Diving
Safety Officer. Cruise schedules,
cruise tracks and equipment will be tailored to specific needs of researchers
and instructors. For an appointment
to inspect the Sea World UCLA, call the ship's number,
(310) 433-5008, to speak to the Captain, Willie McCarthy.
