Receive your Green Fins environmental certification with the Andrea Leeman Green Fins Dive Guide Scholarship Fund
The Green Fins Dive Guide e-Course trains dive guides to the best environmental standards, helping them to preserve coral reefs and related ecosystems by reducing the negative impacts of scuba diving above and below the water. While it’s free to take the course, the personalised certificate to prove your status as a Green Fins guide costs $25 USD. However, we realise some dive guides – particularly those from developing countries – are unable to afford this expense.
For this reason, The Reef-World Foundation has launched the Andrea Leeman Green Fins Dive Guide Scholarship Fund which will help dive guides in need receive their Green Fins certification. More and more divers are looking to choose guides who follow environmental best practice so displaying this certificate can help you attract eco-minded customers, increase your employability and may even result in more tips!
