PROGRAM DETAILS

 

PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty Course (1 Day)

Once you have learnt the basics Buoyancy becomes the most important skill you need to master. Good buoyancy helps you protect the environment while seeing & exploring more of the aquatic realm.

 

PADI Advanced Open Diver Water (2 Days)

PADI's Advanced Open Water Course builds on your basic training allowing you to develop greater confidence in, & understanding of the aquatic environment.

 

Reef Check Ecodiver Course (including Project Aware Specialty Course)

The Reef Check course teaches you to collate scientific data using a standardised methodology that will help in monitoring the health of the reef so that trends can be identified. The course will train your focus on the health of the reef and the aquatic realm and will develop your knowledge of key indicator species from three areas of the ecosystem – fish, invertebrates & substrate.

 

We will have classroom presentations followed by afternoon in water practice on each day. We will culminate our training by joining a team of qualified ecodivers to complete a full Reef Check survey on one of our local sites.

 

Marine Conservation Projects

With your marine conservation training complete we will delve into some local conservation and reef restoration projects. This may include collecting data, transplanting corals, building check dams to stop erosion and siltation of local sites or joining a dive site clean up.

 

This work will show you how to develop conservation projects in a real life environment while giving something back to Koh Tao during your stay.
