CORAL GARDENER
BY ISLANDIVING
Why Restoring and Protecting Coral
is Crucial for the Future of Our Oceans

RESTORING CORALS,
PRESERVING THE FUTURE
Join us for a coral restoration dive with Coral Gardener by Island Diving! Since 2016, when we planted a coral table at Saline and set up domes at Gros-Ilets, Island Diving has been actively involved in restoring coral reefs, which are vital to the survival of our underwater ecosystem.
Coral reefs play a fundamental role in the marine food chain: they serve as a refuge and breeding ground for many species of fish and marine organisms. Their decline would lead to a dramatic imbalance, threatening thousands of species. By taking action now, we can reverse the trend.
At Island Diving, we firmly believe that protecting the ecosystems we cherish is our responsibility. Coral restoration isn’t just about the future of our oceans, it’s about preserving a natural heritage that future generations deserve to experience. When you dive with us, you’re joining a global movement to protect and restore coral reefs.
Come dive with us and leave a positive mark on the oceans while enjoying an unforgettable adventure. Together, we can ensure that our reefs continue to thrive and provide a rich and diverse marine life for decades to come.

My husband and I had an exceptional experience diving with Island Diving in St. Bart, and it’s all thanks to Birdy. His extensive knowledge and passion for the ocean make every dive an unforgettable adventure. Birdy’s expertise is evident not just in his superb guidance, but also in his deep commitment to marine conservation. His dedication to preserving the underwater world adds a meaningful dimension to each dive. The diving itself is absolutely incredible—crystal-clear waters, vibrant marine life, and stunning coral formations. Birdy is undoubtedly the most trustworthy dive instructor on the island, and we can’t wait to return for more dives with him. Highly recommended, thank you for everything Birdy!!!

I had never been scuba diving before, even though my wife and daughter received their advanced certification on St. Barth from Birdy. On our most recent trip to St. Barth, I finally took the step and decided to dive. Birdy was amazing!! He was very very patient and helped to calm my fears about my first dive. He thoroughly explained everything we needed to know beforehand, and quizzed us to make certain it was clear. Then we took the plunge. Birdy was right next to me the entire 45 minute dive, and helped me as went along. He pointed every bit of sea wildlife and various coral formations. Two days later I took my second dive with Birdy, and again, an amazing experience. As with the first drive he was patient, kind, and I never felt uneasy about anything that happened. I can not make a higher recommendation for Birdy and his company, Island Diving. He has vast experience and is fully accommodating. Patient. Deeply knowledgable. And made the entire experience fun and educational. He is really a terrific person to know and dive with. Nick Devor2024-06-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Birdy is the best! An experienced & effective educator that makes everyone feel comfortable and confident in the water. He even shared some of his homegrown star fruit once we resurfaced! Don’t waste your time going anywhere else. We can’t wait to dive with Birdy again. Droin Fanny2024-06-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
