From Aug 20th<\/sup>to Aug 27th<\/sup>,\u00a0 Papua Explorers Eco Resort will host Coral Explorers<\/strong><\/span> where participants will be led through a series of presentations and workshops by world leading coral experts, and have hands-on involvement in community based conservation projects.<\/span><\/p>\n

Coral Explorers<\/strong><\/span> is a very different kind of dive experience – it\u2019s a week where you can explore the world\u2019s richest reefs and have them explained to you by world-famous coral reef science communicator Russell Kelley and a marine park manager Rachel Pears. This is experiential diving done right – or edutainment – interesting information and innovative interpretation presented in a low key \u2018ask-me-anything\u2019 style – all set to a non-stop program of world class diving.<\/p>\n

Program highlights<\/strong> include, but are not limited to ;<\/p>\n
