Aquatic Immersion • Jul 2010
Participated in a four week internship at a marine mammal conservation facility at Key Largo under Rick Borguss, marine veterinarian Dr. Robert Stevens, and dolphin trainer Arthur Cooper.Â
I learned how to train and feed dolphins and sea lions; dolphin identification; and animal training psychology with positive reinforcement.
Got PADI Open Water scuba certified the last weekend of my internship. Nothing says "You'll learn to breathe underwater" more than your instructor/friend chucking you off the boat into a coral reef.
