In this paper, according to poststructural philosopher Gilles Deleuze’s notion of learning, I explore the significance of marine education and consider alternatives to current marine education implementation. First, I analyze marine education policy in Taiwan and identify problems in its claim of “consciousness raising.” Second, I elucidate Deleuze’s notion of learning, which is specifically developed in his work Différence et Répétition. Applying learning to swim as an example, I emphasize that swimming is effectively a movement of difference and repetition, and in this athletic activity, learning involves creating an open space in which learners encounter signs. According to Deleuze, rather than being a conscious act, learning involves unconscious interaction between the human body and the surrounding environment. Marine education is therefore not designed to raise innate or acquired oceanic consciousness, but rather to develop a process of unconscious learning. Unconscious learning is constituted to break through the established perceptions of marine education and to inspire students to engage in a problematic realm where humans experience the ocean. In each encounter, a learner establishes multiple connections with the ocean and expands his or her perceptions of the ocean to create a concept.
