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.

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.

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 download a copy of the Team Survey Form, Click, Survey Forms A sample of a Summary Sheet is also on that page.

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 to the next team meeting so they can be filed.

You are encouraged to also send a REEF survey 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
