PADI Coral Reef Conservation Specialty Course

PADI CORAL REEF CONSERVATION

£125

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.
