Reviews
Taking the Coral Restoration Course with Sharon at Legend Diving Lembongan was one of the most rewarding things I’ve done so far on my trip. Sharon’s passion for the ocean is very evident, and she combines her knowledge as a marine biologist with an ability to explain things clearly and with enthusiasm. The classroom sessions were engaging and eye-opening, and in the water she was always attentive and supportive. During one of the dives I lost my camera, and Sharon went out of her way to help me find it – and we actually found it again . What sets this course apart is that it’s not just about learning – you’re contributing to real conservation work. We planted coral fragments ourselves and submitted data to Coral Watch, so you know your efforts go beyond the classroom. The number of dives included is fantastic, and I left with a completely new understanding of coral reefs, fish, and invertebrates. This experience was so fun, educational, and meaningful to me. If you want to make a positive impact on the ocean, I couldn’t recommend it more
