Diving John Pennekamp's coral reefs, you learn to identify Florida Keys fish species and understand the ecosystem, building the awareness to dive responsibly and support reef protection. You finish a more knowledgeable, reef-conscious diver in one of the world's most carefully managed marine parks.
PADI AWARE conservation specialties such as Fish Identification and Coral Reef Conservation count toward the Master Scuba Diver rating and support PADI's marine-protection mission. They focus on awareness and reef-friendly skills rather than depth or risk.
The protected coral reefs of John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park near Key Largo, such as Molasses Reef, host abundant snappers, parrotfish, barracuda and turtles, making them an ideal living classroom for fish identification and conservation.
