As sea turtle season reaches its peak here in South Florida, our reefs are teeming with turtles. Join us this month to earn your PADI Sea Turtle Awareness Specialty certification! You’ll learn about the plight faced by these endangered species. Understand how sea turtles depend on our local ocean habitat, and how you can help them thrive.
Next, put your new knowledge to use during an afternoon dive! Hop aboard a 2-tank charter and dive alongside your instructor as you identify sea turtles swimming, feeding and resting on our beautiful reefs. The dive charter, weights and tank rentals are included with the price of your class. The specialty is offered throughout the month. Call us for upcoming dates and to sign up: 561-840-8750.
