	Reef Check Ecodiver Course Coral Reefs in Crisis - You can make the Difference!
	Two great coures to introduce you to the world of marine surveying.
	DISCOVER REEFCHECK	REEFCHECK ECODIVER
Reef Check is both a methodology (coral reef monitoring, data recording and submission) and an organisation. Reef Check has introduced two courses which concerned divers can take: Ecodiver & Discover Ecodiver.

The Discover Ecodiver program introduces divers to the world of coral reef monitoring and data recording. The 1-day program allows divers to experience the dynamics of reef monitoring and provides a foundation for the full Ecodiver Certification course.

It will show you the aquatic environment in an entirely different light. We’ll also introduce you to PADI’s Coralwatch Program in conjunction with Queensland University, Australia.
