3W DIVE has formed a partnership with an NGO called Ocean Gardener who is dedicated to coral reef education, and we now offer a 3 day Coral Diver Course.
As a tribe of scuba divers with an infectious love for the ocean and our island, getting involved with local conservation is essential. The dive center is eco-friendly; we use mainly bio products, minimize our use of plastic, support responsible tourism and aim at raising environmental awareness among our divers.
With coral reefs in danger, 3W DIVE has created a marine conservation project focussed on coral farming. While many divers are extremely knowledgeable around the act of diving itself and even identifying fish, many are unaware of the foundations of a coral reef ecosystem, how to identify coral species, and the potential dangers corals can face from ongoing human contact.

Sustainable coral farming is the practise of farming using principles of ecology – the study of relationships between organisms and their environment. It’s all about farming the right species in the right environment.
With this in mind, the corals harvested at our nursery can then be used to restore parts of the reef around the Gill islands.
