Hi Lee! So you want to be a marine biologist? Well, I'll answer your
question about being under the ocean: its VERY FUN! I am a SCUBA diver,
which means I can stay under there as long as my air tank lets me, and I
find that its very beautiful and peaceful under the ocean. In California,
there is a large underwater "forest" of kelp (seaweed) that can grow 200
feet tall. Diving under the water in a kelp forest is like flying in the
air through the trees in a forest!
I hope can be a marine biologist some day. Remember, though, if you do
want to do that you have to study hard, get good grades and go to a good
college with good classes in marine biology.
Good luck! Please write to me again if you want to ask any more
questions!!
Aloha -
Jen Philips
