About the Program
The Wrigley Marine Science Center (WMSC) on Catalina Island is an ideal base for underwater research with convenient access to both temperate nearshore and open water environments. Situated in Big Fisherman's Cove, a nearby marine life refuge established in 1989 offers soft clean sediment, kelp forests and a wide diversity of marine life. The waters just a short distance offshore are deep enough for excellent blue-water diving.
The USC Wrigley Institute conducts a university dive program in accordance with the standards set forth by the American Academy of Underwater Sciences (AAUS). USC is an AAUS Organizational Member and recognizes dive certifications from other AAUS organizational members through reciprocity.
Underwater research at the WMSC requires active AAUS Scientific Diver certification for every member of the diving party.
How to Dive with the USC Scientific Diving Program
Our current Diving Safety Manual is available here.
USC Divers:
The following steps are required for USC Scientific Divers to dive with our program:
- Research at the Wrigley Marine Science Center and within the marine refuge must be approved by the Diving Safety Officer (DSO) and the Assistant Director of Scientific Operations, Wrigley Marine Science Center, Lauren Oudin. Applicants must fill out a Research Activity Plan.
- Contact the USC DSO to request a copy of the USC Scientific Diver Information Form. This form requires divers to provide proof of the following: Scuba medical clearance, SCUBA certification, DAN (or equivalent) dive medical insurance, CPR, AED, First Aid and O2 certification, and proof of gear service within the previous 12 months or a purchase receipt within the previous 12 months.
- Register in the USC Diver Database. USC scientific divers are required to log all training dives. Once registered and activated, it is the diver's responsibility to maintain their certifications. Divers may check their certification expiration via their profile page. All certifications and dive logs must be current before dive plans will be considered for approval. If there are any questions, please contact the DSO.
- All USC divers must complete acheck out dive with the DSO. Check out dives are regularly scheduled at the Wrigley Marine Science Center on Catalina (1st Thursday of the month) or on the mainland (2nd Saturday of the month at Redondo Beach Veterans Park), or at other times of convenience to the diver. Please contact the DSO to schedule your check out dive.
During your check out dive, you will be required to show proficiency in the following skills:- Surface dive to 10 feet in open water without scuba
- Air sharing (donor and receiver)
- Enter and leave open water, surf or diving vessel while geared up
- Surface kick 400 yards in scuba gear, but while not breathing on scuba
- Maneuverability at and below the surface
- Simulated emergency swimming ascent
- Mask and regulator clearing while submerged
- Achieve and maintain neutral buoyancy
- Self- and buddy rescue
- Underwater navigation
- Dive planning

Odin Flash Tool was developed solely to flash stock firmware on Samsung devices. But as the tool evolved, it added many new features, and now we can flash Custom Recovery (TWRP/CWM), SuperSU and other root packages, and mods via Samsung Odin. Earlier, we have shared Samsung Odin for Windows, and on this page, you'll be able to download Samsung Odin for Mac and Linux platforms.
Table of Contents
What is Samsung Odin?
Odin3 is Samsung's official tool for flashing firmware (ROM), Recovery, Bootloader, or Modem files on Samsung Galaxy devices. With the help of Samsung Odin3, users can unbrick, unroot, and return the device back to stock firmware. If you have soft-bricked your Samsung Galaxy device and can't find a way to fix it, then flash the stock firmware using Odin3 and restore the device/unbrick the device.
Samsung Odin for Mac and Linux
Samsung Odin is mainly developed for the Windows platform and is not available for Mac and Linux. But all thanks to the famous XDA developer/contributor AdamOutler, Samsung Odin for Mac and Linux is now possible with the port by the name JOdin. It is a direct port of the Odin for Windows, and it now works on all the three platforms – Windows, Mac, and Linux.
We can also use Odin on Mac using Heimdall, a cross-platform open-source tool suite for flashing firmware and ROMs on Samsung devices. It is believed that the Odin Flash Tool got its name from the king of gods in Norse mythology. So, keeping this into account, the developers of Heimdall named it after the Norse God and guardian of the Bifrost Bridge.
Both Samsung JOdin and Heimdall are Odin alternatives for Mac and Linux, and they are available for all three platforms – Windows, Mac, and Linux.
Download JOdin3 – Odin for Mac OS X and Linux
If you're looking for Samsung Odin for Mac/ Samsung Odin for Linux, we recommend you to download JOdin. JOdin3 is a direct port of windows version of Samsung Odin. It works with Mac OS and Linux platforms.
JOdin Features
Below are some of the features of the JOdin tool.
- JOdin3 is based on the CASUAL-X project and Heimdall tool.
- It automatically obtains the PIT file with a single device reboot.

- Heimdall is installed automatically on Mac OS.
- In-app instructions are available at each step for easy flashing.
- JOdin for Mac, Linux, and Windows supports
.tarand.tar.md5files to flash on the device.
Why use JOdin3?
The official Samsung flashing tool Odin is available for only the Windows platform. But what if you are using Mac OS or Linux? In this situation, JOdin3 comes to rescue.
JOdin is platform-independent, and it just requires the Java Runtime Environment. So, it is the perfect and highly recommended alternative for Samsung Odin.
However, unlike Odin, JOdin is not considered as an official flashing software. But it works perfectly and gets the job of flashing Stock firmware, Recovery, Root package, and other mods done easily.
