Coral Reefs are among the most complex and beautiful of Earth’s ecosystems; but they are also among the most heavily utilized and economically valuable. The richest and healthiest of reefs are home to thousands of species of fish and other marine invertebrates such as turtles as well as masses of invertebrate species. For this reason, coral reefs are loved and supported by snorkelers and divers, who often provide much needed economical benefit through tourism.

The PADI Coral Reef Conservation course explores the biodiversity of coral reefs, the symbiosis of species living in unison as well as the pressure that coral reefs are facing in the current ecological climate.

The program is open to divers and non-divers and explains how individuals can help protect the living reef from further decline.
