Questions about the Coral Reef Conservation Specialty course
“Swami Rock is something else entirely. The statues on the reef, the turtles, the sheer amount of life on the wall. I've dived in Thailand, Indonesia, the Red Sea, and this is right up there. The guides know every inch of these reefs. Highly recommended.”
