SeaTrek BVI Fathoms Camp - for all your budding Marine Biologists! Hands on adventure in the BVI - check it out!

SeaTrek’s FATHOMS program offers participants Focused Adventure Through Hands-On Marine Science in the Caribbean’s British Virgin Islands (BVI). During the 22-day voyage, students live aboard a 48’ sailing catamaran that serves as their mobile marine science research station, offering countless opportunities to study the marine world. Students experience the ecology and dynamics of the living laboratory that surrounds them. Earning community service and/or academic credit is no problem on this voyage!

FATHOMS centers around the integration of marine science, community service, and cultural interaction throughout the BVI’s tropical islands and waters. You’ll learn that living as a marine biologist isn’t only about marine biology and ecology. The curriculum, labs, and fieldwork address aspects of marine chemistry, geology and physics, making it a truly interdisciplinary program. Ask our Director of Marine Science more about the specialty course options that are available exclusively for FATHOMS students.

There are 27 days until FATHOMS 2025!! Staff will be assembling down on the island in 7 short days to start prepping and training for student arrival!

Trunk Bay consistently ranks among the top beaches in the world, thanks to its pristine white sand, crystal clear water, and unique underwater snorkeling "trail". We think the 9-11am happy hour doesn't hurt either! Our advice is to get there before 9am or after 4pm.
