Couldn't load pickup availability
Two days deep in the work, year-round out of Albany, Nassau.
Day 1 at Dexter's nursery for coral cleaning and maintenance, two working dives plus a technical briefing and end-of-day debrief. Day 2 brings outplanting, monitoring, and continued nursery work depending on conditions and water temperature, two to three working dives plus debrief. Four to five working dives total. The kind of dive day that ends with sore arms, salt-bleached hair, and a few hundred corals back on the reef that weren't there yesterday.
Next anchor date: July 11-12, 2026, just ahead of Shark Awareness Day. Custom dates available year-round.
Note: outplanting is seasonal, prioritized in cooler months. In warmer water, day 2 shifts to monitoring and nursery maintenance.
Group buyout for up to five participants. One person books for the group.
Recommended: certified divers with prior restoration exposure or completion of Level 1 training.
