Teach the reef. Become a Reef Guardian partner shop.

We train your instructors to teach Reef Guardian I and II, our reef courses for divers. Your shop sells and teaches them, and every student you certify helps fund coral restoration on Roatán.

For dive shops in the Bay Islands and beyond

What you get

Everything to teach the reef

  • Two ready-made courses

    Reef Guardian I: reef life and identification, with an ID dive. Reef Guardian II: coral restoration techniques worldwide and why they matter, with a nursery maintenance dive.

  • Instructor training

    We train your instructors to teach both courses, in the classroom and in the water.

  • Course materials

    Everything your instructors need to run the courses.

  • Certificates handled for you

    Register a student and Caribbean Reef Guardians emails them a personalised certificate with your shop and instructor on it. No paperwork for you.

  • Your margin on every course

    Courses sell for US$149 per student. US$25 of each goes to coral restoration; the rest covers your instructor, taxes and your shop's margin.
