Scientists don’t just work in a lab. Sometimes they get to work underwater, using scuba gear to dive to where the species they want to study live so they can record their numbers as well as gender and size.

For more information, see the Diving Safety Program and read Bruno Comeau’s blog, “Blowing Bubbles for Science,” to learn more about how scientists use diving to gather information about aquatic animals.
