Dear Fellow Scuba Divers,
My name is Kelsey Johansen, and I am a graduate student in the School of Outdoor Recreation, Parks and Tourism at Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Canada. As a part of my thesis, entitled
The Effectiveness of Environmental Communication with Scuba Divers: A Case Study Comparing the Curricula of BSAC, PADI, and SSI Open Water Diver Certification Courses, I am surveying certified scuba divers about their knowledge of low impact diving practices.
To help me out with this, I am asking you to fill out a questionnaire, accessible by the link below, which will take approximately 5 - 8 minutes to complete and consists of 1) a series of questions about scuba diving and marine environments, 2) your recent recent diving experiences and 3) asks a bit about you, the diver.
If you are under the age of 18 please do not take part in this study!
Your participation is completely voluntary and you are free to refrain from answering any questions or to withdraw from the survey at any time. All questionnaires will be kept confidential and all data will be analyzed in statistical form to assure your anonymity.
As a member of the diving community, you know how important preserving dive sites is, so please take the time to fill out this short survey!

Thank you for your time!
Sincerely,
