The Ecodiver Challenge is designed for today’s discerning travellers & divers who are concerned about the world we live in. This 2 week program allows you to learn to scuba dive and use that skill to develop a more in depth understanding of the aquatic environment and in turn helping to preserve the aquatic environment for future generations of divers & water lovers.
Arriving on Koh Tao you’ll first have to learn how to dive. You’ll partake in PADI’s introductory course, the Open Water Diver Course followed soon after by the Advanced Open Water Course. Your dive training will continue at a leisurely pace as you gain experience in the underwater world fine tuning your skills.
A PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty course will be a prerequisite to your Ecodiver Course a week long program supported by Reef Check International. After being certified an Ecodiver you will be able to participate in surveys to collate data and monitor the ongoing health of our planets coal reefs. A PADI Project Aware Specialty course is conducted alongside the Reef Check Program which helps by providing a thorough understanding of the marine environments, what threatens them, & what you can do to ensure the healthy survival.
Interspersed with your time in Koh Tao you will have some free time to explore the island and delve into the local culture. Engaging the body in Yoga we have scheduled three sessions over the course of your two weeks to tantalise the soul during your stay in the tropics.
