Marine Conservation Kurser på Similan Islands och Koh Tao
All our ECO-courses are conducted by our Biologist Jenifer Matthews. She is our Conservation Manager and Eco person at Big Blue Diving in Koh Tao. We conduct the courses both on Liveaboard in Similan Islands and with Big Blue Diving in Koh Tao. The courses are conducted in English and why the description is in english.
