What you'll learn
How PADI AWARE brings together divers and water lovers to protect aquatic environments, the challenges of fishing and sustainability, what's happening to coral reefs and their inhabitants, and your concrete role in protecting aquatic environments.
Course structure

Usually completed in a single session, in the classroom or online.
Prerequisites
