Our conservation programs focus on four key areas: coral reef restoration, manta ray research, whale shark monitoring, and reef health assessment. Through partnerships with global conservation organizations and active participation from our diving community, we collect valuable data and implement tangible conservation actions.

Our coral propagation program focuses on restoring damaged reef areas in South Ari Atoll. Using sustainable techniques, we fragment healthy corals, grow them in our underwater nursery, and transplant them to degraded reef sites.
South Ari Atoll is home to a significant population of reef manta rays. We contribute to the Manta Trust's global database by photographing and identifying individual mantas based on their unique ventral spot patterns.
South Ari Atoll is one of the few places in the world with year-round whale shark sightings. We collaborate with whale shark researchers to identify individuals, track movements, and contribute to population studies.
Regular reef health surveys are essential for monitoring ecosystem changes. We conduct standardized surveys following Reef Check and Coral Watch methodologies to track coral health, fish populations, and invertebrate abundance.
