The ReefQuest Philosophy has always been, "The most enjoyable and powerful way to learn is through doing." All our programs feature a strong hands-on component, providing opportunities for each of our participants to try first-hand what many have dreamed yet few ever have opportunity to do.

Because so much of our work takes place in the field, out on the ocean, it is necessary to maintain a sense of humor about unforeseen challenges and to adapt our plan as we go. Both Anne and I take very seriously the 'tour guide' part of our jobs and we are available to answer your questions and concerns 24-hours a day. We have been incredibly fortunate that our clients have shared our sense of fun and excitement in learning new things and are always willing to work with us toward making our Expeditions as successful as possible -- no matter what the ocean serves up.

As is so often the case, apparent problems turn out to be opportunities in disguise, making each one of our Expeditions as unique as the individuals who join us on our adventures. ReefQuest's heuristic approach requires an awful lot of work on our part, but we firmly believe that the educational and experiential results are well worth it.
