Project Seahorse is a Youth & Family Outreach program…and much more.
It starts with the Kids gaining an understanding of the amazing underwater world just "Beyond the Beach", found in the snorkeling sites of Palm Beach County. We would like to see this spread to their families and their communities…

Companies and Organizations that volunteered or assisted with Project Seahorse in 2016
City of Boynton Beach
The Boynton Beach CRA
Major Partner to Project Seahorse : The Boynton CRA made this event possible this year with countless man hours and resources they threw into the event. We can't thank them enough.
Florida Freedivers
This group has some of the best Freedive Instructors in the World!:Sort of like being taught how to drive by a Formula One Race car Driver, the kids of Project Seahorse are learning Snorkeling from instructors that are among the best in the world...When you watch the videos of the kids on the wreck of the Loftus, you can see an amazing transformation--many of these kids had been barely able to swim one lap of a swimming pool just 3 weeks prior to the July 28th Event...3 weeks of training in the Aquacrest Pool, had a dramatic effect!
Loggerhead Dive Charters
A spectacular Dive operation, thrilled to help the cause of Project Seahorse: Loggerhead played a key role in taking out a large group of the 38 kids in the program. Located in the Boynton Harbor Marina with Splashdown, they are a great resource for families living here, or for tourists..
Jim Abernethy Scuba Adventures
Palm Beach County Parks Dept
Also a major Partner in the event: The Palm Beach County Parks Dept, led by Joan Hutchinson, created the government framework and the support to make all Project Seahorse events possible. If we tried to list everything they helped us with, we'd have to create a new page, just for them.
Palm Beach County Film Commission and the Tourist Development Council
These 2 groups offered tremendous ideas and resources to us. : They will now help lead us into the much bigger future, we all see coming for this event! The link below takes you to some more of the programs they have helped to create.

Force E
With their Riviera Beach shop located just west of the Blue Heron Bridge, families looking to snorkel at the World Famous Blue Heron Bridge Marine Park, can stop in here for some last minute assistance or rental gear.. These guys are an amazing Shop resource for diving or snorkeling the Blue Heron Bridge Marine Park at Phil Foster Park....
A special place for Families to enjoy Ocean Adventures
A non-profit group of athletes that teach Learn to Swim programs. They loved our Project Seahorse program so much, that they volunteered to teach our non-swimmers how to swim, so they we could then teach these kids how to snorkel. Diversity gets to do what they do best, and we do too!
