Environmental Excursions
we're offering a socially distanced digital course!
Thank you to the 160 students who have participated in previous virtual conservation courses.
Interested in hosting a virtual course for a school group, club, or community?
A dry, ‘fins off’ course, this specialty is ideal for divers and nondivers alike to gain insight into how decisions above and below the surface impact our water planet. Through interactive discussions, you’ll develop an action plan for how you can personally make a difference, and earn a certification showing that you learned how you can make a difference for ocean protection every time you dive or travel.
