We need you!   - Coral Nursery Volunteer Program, get involved... 

We have had great success over the last 5 years maintaining our coral nurseries and out-planting viable coral fragments onto the East End reefs.  We currently have the largest  coral nursery restoration program on island and we are devoted to ensuring a positive future for our reefs.   In an effort to expand and care for our nursery we are inviting our local community of divers to get involved and join the volunteer team for our coral nurseries care.  

Members of the dive community who would like to volunteer with our coral nursery restoration program will have the opportunity to learn about coral, conservation, and the proper techniques and protocol of maintaining the coral nurseries and handling the coral during out-planting of coral fragments onto reefs.   

All participating divers are asked to complete our half day class and dive about coral conservation, coral nurseries, and out-planting corals to grow new reefs. Experience what it takes to manage a coral nursery with practical hands-on experience. cost is just $25 CI and Includes a classroom session, followed by dry land practice and a 1-Tank boat dive.  

After taking the class you will be eligible to volunteer on coral nursery dives and projects at no cost. Make a difference by performing real hands-on work in the field. The funds raised from the initial introduction class go directly back into the coral nursery program for supplies needed.  This is not the full Coral Conservation Specialty certification (which is available for a fee). 

Over a series of courses and trips to the coral nurseries, volunteers will build their confidence and experience working with the coral nurseries.  Later, they will transition into joining a core group of volunteers working directly with coral and out-planting them onto Cayman’s reefs.

Introduction & Dive - is available on the 2nd Saturday of every month  @ 9:00am - CI$25
