How To Book Your Service
We enjoy the process of working with you to book your course or
scientific service. As fish biologists, we like a hands-on approach to
basically everything in science and education, so why not integrate that
into business? We are a small company (2 people), so you will be
talking with us directly through the whole process.
The best way to begin is to contact us via email. We can work from
there or set up a telephone or Skype meeting to continue discussions.
You are welcome to visit us in Puerto Rico, and should our schedule
allow we would be delighted to give you a sample of what we have to
offer - especially in terms of field courses.
But perhaps you would prefer to speak to someone about their
experience with us first? We can provide contact information for past
students and professors (who have agreed to share) so you can get an
unbiased opinion about the quality of our service.
