Seasearch Observer Course - 2515 - Session 2

Recording of Session 2 from Thursday, 17 July 2025.

Website mentioned in the presentation:

Google Earth

Informal homework - if you would like to practise position fixing, Holly will check it out for you.

Use a method of your choice:

  • Google Earth/Maps
  • Phone App
  • GPS

You can use decimal degrees (the default on Google and the new way the data is entered on the database) or degrees and decimal minutes (which is the format on the current form, but which we are moving away from).

Work out the position of your favourite spot for snorkelling, diving, or rockpooling.  Email through to Holly, and she will check she can find your spot.
