Tunghai Diving Club students and Sustainability Science & Engineering Program students returned on 1 October, 2018 from their week-long trip to the Philippines. Led by Tunghai professor Dr. John Perez, this trip was a culmination of hard work by everyone involved. Students completed their confined water and open water training to become certified divers, ensuring their safety for future expeditions. They also collected a variety of algae samples, focusing especially on Ventricaria ventricosa, a variety of algae indigenous to the area. These samples were brought back to Tunghai and will be researched in Dr. Perez’s lab. With high hopes of conducting an algae research project in the Philippines in the future, having a group of students both able and certified to dive is an important milestone.
