GoDive Equipment Program
GoDive Equipment Program
The University of California Santa Cruz, and the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology is proud to announce the GoDive Equipment Program.
As an institution, we are aware that diving gear costs have created a barrier impeding access for students to do scientific diving in the past. As a response to this concern, in 2023, the UCSC Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Department created the GoDive program with the objective of increasing gear access to a broader range of students and staff by lending sets of BCDs, dive computers, regulators, dive weights and wet/drysuits for eligible applicants.
If purchasing your own equipment, please review our helpful and insightful equipment hints here.
Special thanks to the Akin Family Foundation, whose generous contribution funded the initial creation of the GoDive Equipment Program.
