Key West SCUBAPRO + Mote Community Coral Reef Restoration Program

Join SCUBAPRO and Mote Marine Laboratory as a citizen scientist and receive hands-on opportunities to make a positive difference in the health of our coral reef system in Key West! 

Spend the morning learning about coral reef science and Mote’s science-based research to create genetically identical duplicates that grow as much as 50x faster than a natural coral. Dive activities will include helping to maintain Mote’s expansive in-water nurseries, and monitoring coral health. Activities will be dependent on water and weather conditions.

Price includes a coral restoration workshop, a 2-tank dive and a citizen science card. Note: Scuba equipment rental is included and can be arranged through Southpoint divers dive shop. Tanks and dive weight will be provided. 

Ages: 15+ no exceptions; participants age 15-17 must be accompanied by a parent/guardian. All divers MUST have completed a dive within one year prior to the session date, or the dive operator will require a refresher course.
