Citizen science

Your observations are shared with organisations like Reef Renewal Curaçao to help support local coral restoration efforts.
FAQ
Never dived—can I join?
Yes! Coral nubbin is designed for beginner divers. No experience required.
What if I feel nervous in the water?
That’s completely normal! We start with a thorough briefing, and our guides are with you every step of the way. You only do what you’re comfortable with.
Can I touch the coral
Non. Touching the coral is never necessary.
Our goal is to observe and document the health of the reefs and nurseries without disturbing them. The data collected is then shared with partner scientists and universities.
If you wish to get more involved in active reef restoration, we can guide you to specialized foundations.
