Study Abroad in St. Kitts & Nevis

If you are looking for a real experience that's shorter than a full semester abroad but longer than a vacation break? You've found it. Explore the Caribbean's most coveted diving spots: wreck dives, wall dives, and one of the world's largest barrier reefs. Meet loggerhead turtles, seahorses, and whale sharks along the way. Cultivate your sailing skills while island hopping among Nevis, Dominica, Guadeloupe, The Saints, Antigua, St. Barts, St. Eustatius, and Saba. Don't worry; you'll give each island the personal attention it deserves by surfing and snorkeling in their pristine waters, trekking along dormant volcanoes, and immersing yourself in the unique landscapes and cultures each has to offer. All the while, you'll be earning six college credits as well as sailing and diving certifications.

It's the kind of ocean expedition that aspiring marine biologists dream of—17 days on a live-aboard floating classroom: sailing, diving, and exploring the fascinating waters of the Caribbean. Set sail for a one-of-a-kind adventure with a small group of marine science enthusiasts just like you. You'll be part of a crew of seafarers whose curiosity about the ocean, marine species, and the role of marine parks will lead the team deep into the Caribbean's underwater realm. Chart a course for St. Bart's where you'll earn your PADI Open Water or Advanced Open Water certification. After studying and refining your skills, it's time to hit the water and observe the underwater species and phenomena the Caribbean is known for. Lessons aboard the yacht truly come to life when you dive below the surface and witness what you've just learned. In Saba, marvel at pinnacles rising 100 feet from the ocean floor and dive among groupers, jacks, sea turtles, and alien-like corals. In just 17 days, you'll see and do more than you ever thought possible and leave with lasting friendships, incredible memories, and a desire to build upon all that you've accomplished.
