The Fun Part

As a scuba diver, the health of aquatic ecosystems is often what makes a good dive. Become aware of the fragileness of coral reefs and how you can help preserve them.

What You Learn

The AWARE - Coral Reef Conservation Specialty course teaches you about the vital role of coral reefs in the marine environment. The course also familiarizes you with the current state of the world's coral reefs and how you can help. You will learn about the Project AWARE Foundation and:

• How coral reefs function
• Why they are so important
• Why many reefs are in serious trouble
• What you can do to prevent further decline

Prerequisites

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.

Your Next Adventure

Take your knowledge to the next level. Join us on a trip to Bonaire and take The PADI Coral Restoration Diver Distinctive Specialty.

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