Questions about the Coral Reef Conservation Specialty course
Is this course mainly for conservation enthusiasts or useful for all divers?
It's built around diving, not just reading. The skills, buoyancy control around corals, identification of reef health indicators, debris removal protocols, are useful on every dive you do for the rest of your career. The conservation angle gives you context for why you do things the way we teach them.
