    The EcoDive Trip offered two dives, where the first dive is more about coral education and the second dive is a fun dive. Of course, the main and superior program of EcoDive Trip is how to care for transplanted corals and carry out coral transplants. Participants are taught how to select coral seeds, how to tie coral to transplant media, and how to clean transplanted coral from organisms or objects that can disturb or kill the transplanted coral. Apart from caring for corals and fun dives, participants have the opportunity to adopt 1 baby coral, marked by tagging the baby coral and a digital certificate to the participant. So apart from having fun diving and learning about corals, participants also contribute to the preservation of coral reefs (Conservation).
