They focus on coral reef restoration, turtles and sharks, as well as running projects that involve growing coral, rebuilding reefs and measuring biodiversity. They train divers who have the opportunity to become engaged in the conservation projects as do snorkelers. There is also an opportunity to take an A level in Marine Science.
