Restoring and protecting our coral reefs is crucial as 80% of our coral reefs around the world have died within the last 50 years. You can help! BREEF now offers the PADI Reef Rescue Diver course for all certified divers. During your training, you will learn more about threats to coral reefs, how to identify different species of corals, and most importantly you will be contributing to BREEF’s coral restoration efforts by assisting in the maintenance of our coral propagation units and/or out-planting your very own coral fragment!
