OUR MISSION

Coral reefs are one of the most diverse and vital ecosystems on Earth, yet they are facing an unprecedented decline. Climate change, pollution, and overfishing are just a few of the threats that are pushing these reefs to the brink. As a non-profit organization, we are dedicated to fighting back against coral reef decline through a combination of research, collaboration, and active restoration.

We are committed to developing innovative methods for restoring damaged reefs and protecting healthy ones. We also work closely with local communities to promote sustainable practices that can help to reduce the impact of human activities on these fragile ecosystems.

Our ultimate goal is to develop global solutions to the problem of coral reef decline. We believe that by working together, we can make a real difference in the fight to protect these precious ecosystems.

DIVE SCHOOL

We restore the dive site of your choice.

Luckily nowadays most divers are environmentally conscious and would choose a dive center active in coral reef conservation over one that is not yet giving back to coral reefs. Show your love for the ocean by restoring what attracts your costumers. 

We take care of all the processes so you can concentrate on your diving activities.

Increase your number of costumers with an artistical reef restoration measure that becomes iconic and therefore a tourist attraction. 

Rich media documentation included (4K videos and high resolution photos)

We establish marine conservation programs

If you plan to upgrade your dive courses towards marine conservation programs, we can offer advanced education for your instructors. We can implement research objects for marine biology courses as well as your own infrastructure for future restoration projects and courses.
