The Coral Reef Conservation Instructor rating qualifies you to teach the Coral Reef Conservation specialty diver course to your own students, covering reef ecology, low-impact diving technique, and how coral systems function and face pressure. It's a focused, practical program built around how to run the course confidently — dry-land presentations, confined and open water session structure, and evaluating student performance.
Working with me as your Course Director, you'll go through the specialty from an instructor's perspective, then practice presenting and running sessions the way you'll actually teach them to students. It's a fast, focused addition to your teaching credentials — and it counts directly toward Master Scuba Diver Trainer (MSDT) status.
