But don't forget - if you are interested in collecting data with Reef Check this year you will need to attend one of our three recerts (April 3, April 21 and June 1).

Hi Colleen,
Trying to plan this weekend, when do we need to check in on the Lois Ann and about when do you think we'll be back? It's been a few years!

Somehow I always recert on the Lois Ann.

thanks, looking forward to it.

Hi Renee,
This is Brianne, I will be leading the Lois Ann recert. Meet up at the top of the ramp for the briefing at 6:15 sharp and the boat will be back at 2:30 pm. The boat provides aluminum 80 tanks but you are welcome to bring your own. If you send me an email at bbillups@reefcheck.org I can send you the email all of the other recerts got in case you signed up late. So glad you can join us!
