“Hello ! I am junior at SAHS and a member of the Sea Explorer program with Phil Stewman . This year our Oceanography class's focus has been Reef Ball. In May of 99 our class began the steps for this project. Scuba certification, pool sessions, spring dives and open water dives were what our summer was about. Mr. Stewman has dedicated his life to this project and his students. He has been working on this for about 10 years and now that Reef Ball has come to St. Augustine and allowed the students to participate it's all falling into place for him. Out of the 60 hard working students Mr. Stewman teaches in the Oceanography program he choose 4 students to drop the first Reef Balls off of St. Augustine; Callie Simon (11th), David Austin (12th) ; Tim Haire (12th) and; me, Brittney Crosby (11th). I just wanted to thank Reef Ball on be half of Mr..Stewman and all of the students in the program for this awesome learning experience that not only will we remember for the rest of our lives but we will be able to enjoy the experience. Thanks Reef Ball.“
