Please do not submit a survey if you expect or encounter more than 4  ft seas or if there is less than 15 ft visibility

Always do a second survey on another artificial reef location or on a natural reef not already surveyed.

Two successful training surveys and a demonstrated concern for the conservation  of the marine life  are key requirements for team membership. Because there is no reimbursement for training surveys, training surveys can be made anywhere at any time, when the seas are calm and the visibility is good.

Click on "Survey Forms" below for  information about how to fill out the survey form. Check the photographs on this web site for help with creature identification. Plan to attend the team meetings for  additional information about creature identification and how team members might help you in getting started to do surveys. 

All surveys are filed by site, so if you move to another location on the same site, use another Survey Form and include the  second survey dive on the Summary Sheet for that site. However if you do the second survey on a different site, submit a second Summary Sheet and a Survey Form for that site.

When possible, try to do a survey an artificial reef and a survey on a nearby artificial reef for comparison.

Log the L/L readings from your GPS unit and/or  the  TDs from your LORAN unit while you are on the site. Do not list any calculated coordinates.

To prevent duplication of surveys, please inform us by email (volusiareefs@yahoo.com) or by calling 761 9478 when you have made a survey. Bring your reproducible hard-copies, photo CDs, videos, boat and air expenses to the next team meeting for reimbursement of these expenses.

You are encouraged to also send a REEF survey form to REEF. See  the Reef Notes page for information about how to do this.

Enjoy your time on the reefs, protect the reefs and the creatures you see and, most important, be careful out there
