Pelatihan Dasar Selam bagi Pelajar dan Mahasiswa untuk Meningkatkan Keterampilan Kelautan di Kota Sorong
Abstract
This community service program introduced ocean literacy, basic diving skills, and marine safety to high school and university students in Sorong. The activity aimed to improve participants' introductory knowledge and skills in basic diving, safety at sea, and human-resource development for the marine and fisheries sector. It was conducted at the Sorong Marine and Fisheries Polytechnic campus on 29 April 2026, 08:00-17:00 WIT. Training combined lectures, case studies, scuba-equipment demonstrations, and supervised practice at the campus beach. Topics covered diving equipment, basic techniques, buddy coordination, buoyancy, emergency procedures, diving health and pressure principles, and recognition of potentially dangerous marine life. Learning was evaluated through oral pre-test and post-test questions using equivalent competency indicators. The activity integrated classroom learning, equipment familiarization, and direct practice. Quantitative pre-test and post-test scores were not included in the data supplied for manuscript preparation; therefore, numerical learning gains should be added after the evaluation recap is available.
