The Senses and Sensing workshop asked the OM community to think about senses in the context of ocean memory, but for many of us in the community, our own underwater embodied experience is limited. In our conversations, divers in the community could speak more concretely about their personal understanding of being in the ocean, further informing discussions around how the water shapes or adapts sensory stimuli. Our proposal aims to explore sensory immersion as a step towards developing a deeper understanding of what sensing can mean for ocean organisms and ocean memory. In the three-day sensory exploration and diving workshop in the Mesoamerican Reef, we seek to enrich the collective experience by bringing together a divemaster, a diverse group of OM members, and local Mexican scientists, artists, and community leaders.
