Special Considerations
- The minimum age is 10 years old.
- Must be Open Water certified
- You must complete a medical questionnaire and may need a doctor’s approval if you have any disqualifying conditions.
- When scheduling your dives, allow at least 18 hours after diving before flying. This is important — you cannot fly the same day after scuba diving.

What do you call that one green and purple basketball brain-looking coral we saw?
- how to identify hard and soft corals
- the different types and species
- how and where coral polyps grow, eat, and reproduce
- what organisms interact with the coral to help create, protect, and preserve these ecosystems that we love to dive
How It Works
This course is mostly academic. It starts with the online e-Learning that includes the final exam. We will then go on two open water dives from our boat.
Timeline
This course can be done on any of our boat charters. We typically prefer the 11 am Coral Reef dives as they provide a more casual experience and longer dives to get more time poking around the reef.

Coral Identification Certification
Upon completion of all academic and open water requirements, your instructor will issue the Coral Identification certification card.
These logged dives and certification will count to your next recognition rating of Advanced Open Water or Master Diver
What To Bring
- All you need is a swimsuit for the first day: all of the dive gear is included!
- If you bring a change of clothes for after class, there are beach showers and restrooms.
- If you already own personal gear, like mask, snorkels, or fins, bring them. You’ll be more comfortable in your own gear.
- You can bring a towel, sunglasses & maybe a hat for the boat trips (we have a dry storage area).
- Bring your underwater camera & its waterproof casing to get the best shots!
- We provide drinking water, fresh pineapple & snacks, but you can also bring your own.
