Divi Dive Bonaire, VIP Diving joined Reef Renewal Foundation Bonaire’s mission
Divi Dive Bonaire and
VIP Diving to the list of dive operators that are supporting the island’s reef restoration efforts.
As part of the first phase, two nurseries with an initial capacity of 600 corals have been installed in shallow water at
Calabas Reef, which is accessible from shore for divers and snorkelers. Both critically endangered staghorn and elkhorn coral species are being hosted and propagated in the nurseries, which will be maintained by
Divi Dive Bonaire and
VIP Diving. Once their staff’s training is completed, these dive shops will have the opportunity to attract visitors to participate in a unique coral restoration experience, that can shape tourist relationship with marine environment and foster global stewardship for coral reef ecosystem.
