Lots of us head for the ocean in the summer. But we tend to stay above the waves, and even a few feet from them.
Not so for ocean explorers like the students and teachers of the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology.
OIMB began its explorations in 1924 and is going strong today.
Recent tasks included trips aboard the famous submersible ship Alvin, and the opening of the Charleston Marine Life Center, across the street from OIMB on the Southern Oregon Coast.
OIMB Director Craig Young and doctoral student Kirstin Meyer join us with their stories.
