ABSTRACT
Teaching students about underwater marine science is difficult due to the limitations required to access underwater environments. Marine science is typically not taught until tertiary education levels. We have developed a Virtual Reality experience for teaching marine science activities focusing on high school students. Our education programme and VR tool can help train the next generation of students into learning and being aware about marine science.
