Join us this month for PADI’s AWARE Coral Reef Conservation class! You will learn all about the interesting and complex nature of life on a reef. Understand the threats our reefs face, and how we can help restore them.
Become familiar with the many types of corals. Next, learn why coral reefs are important to a healthy planet earth. Many of our coral reefs are in serious trouble from pollution, global warming, and harmful human impacts. After you understand these dangers to their survival, you will learn how to help make a difference through
Project AWARE.
Anyone can take the AWARE: Coral Reef Conservation class!
There are NO prerequisites or minimum ages for this course. You only need a desire to learn about the underwater world. You
do NOT need to be a certified scuba diver to take this fully-online class. This is a wonderful first step before you begin scuba diving with a

After you learn about Coral Reef Conservation, sign up for a guided dive or snorkel tour at the Blue Heron Bridge. Visit what you’ve learned about in person. Nothing puts the beauty of our coral reefs in perspective like seeing them up close.
