INTRODUCTION
Coral reefs are among the most complex and fascinating ecosystems on the planet, and the Red Sea is home to some of the most spectacular examples in the world.

The course is completed entirely online via MySSI, with no diving required, making it a perfect choice for a rest day or for non-diving friends and family. Once you can identify the corals around you, every dive on the reef takes on a whole new meaning.
