Help Protect Our Oceans with the Green Fins Diver e-Course

Whether you’re new to diving or an experienced explorer, every diver and snorkeler can make a difference in preserving the marine environment by practicing eco-friendly techniques. The Green Fins Diver e-Course empowers you to act in protecting the ocean by increasing your environmental awareness and helping you learn how to dive with minimal impact on underwater ecosystems.

 

For just $25 (which supports essential marine conservation work), the Green Fins Diver e-Course enhances your diving knowledge, equipping you with the skills and confidence needed for sustainable diving practices. You’ll also gain insight into how to leverage your influence as a consumer to encourage eco-friendly choices across the diving industry.

 

With millions of divers enjoying coral reefs each year, the more certified Green Fins divers we have, the stronger our collective effort to safeguard these precious ecosystems for future generations!
