Overview AWARE Coral Conservation Speciality on Gili Meno
1/2 day – 2 open water dives – it’s all about coral
The Coral Reef Conservation Specialty course informs divers (and non-divers!) about the plight of the world’s coral reefs. The course describes how coral reefs function and why they are so important. It also reviews why many reefs are in serious trouble and what individuals can do to prevent further decline.

The Coral Reef Conservation Specialty course provides the knowledge base for proper interaction while touring a reef.
During this course you will learn:

Upon completion, you will earn the PADI AWARE Coral Conservation Speciality certification.Â
