Your Next Adventure

As you learn about coral reef conservation you may also want to work on a conservation project as part of your PADI National Geographic Diver certification.

Since fish life and coral reefs go hand in hand, it also makes sense to learn about fish identification with the AWARE Fish ID course.

You may also want to brush up on your underwater photography skills so that you can document and capture images of the conditions of the reefs and species you’re encountering.
