Mother of Corals is featured in PADI blog’s listing of conservation activities in Panama.
Bocas Pirates is home to Mother of Corals’ Revive: Reef Restoration Program. Available as a one-day introduction or a multi-day immersive course, Revive students learn the science of coral restoration and how to:
- Build and position artificial reef structures
- Propagate nursery-grown corals
- Monitor reef health indicators, such as coral growth, water quality and fish populations
Mother of Corals Founder, Krista Shoe describes a typical day in the Revive program:
“It starts with a mid-morning classroom session that lasts 60 to 90 minutes. Then we take a boat out to the underwater classroom. After a 60-minute dive or snorkel session, we head back to the resort. Training ends by mid-afternoon, leaving the rest of the day open to explore the beauty of Bocas del Toro or simply relax.”
The Revive: Reef Restoration Program operates year-round. You can book individually, as a couple or bring a group of six to 12 divers for a week-long course.
