Comments	I went to Ocean Encounters to specifically take the PADI course on Coral Reef Renewal. It was the best course I have ever taken. The instructor, Tripp, is excellent. Knowledgeable and friendly. Seeks to broaden the scope of reef renewal. In partnership with other programs/communities like this. This course on coral reef renewal was a real eye-opener. For me, it became less about diving for the thrill of it and more about diving with a real purpose. Very sad to learn just how bad shape coral all over the world is, very glad to meet some of the people working incredibly hard to bring it back. I will be going back and volunteering next time. Do yourself a favor- if you are diving anywhere in Curacao head down to Lions Dive Resort and take the course. It's fascinating and taught in an enjoyable relaxing atmosphere. And when you are done- you really know you have done something for the ocean. [fb.watch link]
