To obtain authorization to use diving as a vehicle for research at the University of Florida, the Primary Investigator (PI) must submit a dive operations plan for the Dive Safety Board review, use authorized divers, and maintain a record of all dive activities. The DOP should be submitted at least 5 working days prior to the start of the project. If the research is outside of the United States, two weeks for plan review is suggested. All required forms can be found on the forms page.
