PADI Research Diver
Description
You will learn how to monitor, run transects, and preform research studies hands on while actively assisting us with our coral research and restoration work. In this hand-on course you will help monitor our coral garden, study how corals are growing and evaluate how they are adapting over periods of time. This course is perfect for coral restorers who want to preform the highest level tasks and marine biologists who want to learn how to conduct their own underwater research projects in the future. Upon competition, you get your PADI Research Diver certificate.
We run this 5 day course weekly 10am to 4pm, Friday to Tuesday. If you can't find a course that matches your availability, please contact us directly to see if we can accommodate you.
If you haven't dove in a while and wanted a refresher course prior, we run a Coral Garden Scuba Tour the before.
