What Qualifications Do I Need to Start?

Anyone who has an interest in the aquatic world can take this course. There are no prerequisites or age restrictions and no water sessions are required to earn this non-diving certification.

How Does It Work?

All you need to do is sign up online for our scheduled class. The Coral Reef Conservation course references information in the digital manual - AWARE - Our World, Our Water - downloadable for free on the PADI Aware Foundation website. Although this manual is not required for the course, you can read the chapter on coral reefs in preparation for meeting with your instructor.

As an added bonus, you will get a bottle of Stream2Sea Reef Safe Eco-Friendly Mask Defog - our part in helping you protect our coral reefs.
