The California State University Ocean Studies Institute
Research Diving Course

The Ocean Studies Institute (OSI) dive program is open to all members of the consortium that are required to engage in technical, academic or scientific diving. Anyone who is engaged in diving as part of their research must be an active member of an academic scientific diving program or be subject to US Federal OSHA standard for diving. The OSI Diving Program exists for this reason.
