Last week Sub-Mission held another of its popular PADI Coral Reef Conservation Specialties with a fantastic turn out for the evening. 14 students showed up to learn more about the reef ecosystem and to show their enthusiasm for helping to protect the marine environment.
Rich was yet again a great teacher of the subject and his own passion and interest was apparent with plenty of relevant anecdotes and examples thrown in. Students learnt the various species that live together symbiotically to make the reef the thriving, successful marine habitat that it is.
Rich then turned his attention to the impact of human activity on Coral Reefs and what we can do to help alleviate the environmental pressures on the coral and fish populations. Everyone went away with a lot to think about but with a positive attitude that we can actually do our part and get involved. Now that the students have certified as PADI Coral Reef Conservation Specialty Divers this ties in nicely with the Beach and Underwater cleanup of Trefor Pier on Saturday 4th September, to which everyone is invited to come and help us make a difference!
