About Us

Corales de Paz is meaningful diving (Buceo con Propósito). In everything we do, you have the opportunity to express your alter ego. We are convinced that each of us has a scientist, an explorer, a leader, a superhero. We create opportunities and activities where you can express this other version of yourself. With us you can go beyond having fun, you can leave a legacy, you can get the inspiration to be the change necessary for the conservation of coral reefs.

We are truly a family of citizens of the world, united by our dedication to generating a positive social and ecological impact. The root of our success is the commitment to invest in actions based on science and social impact, so scientific rigor and solidarity are fundamental to our operations. By practicing the scientific method in each of our projects, we actively engage citizens in research and environmental conservation actions. The time and money that our participants contribute when taking one of our programs, facilitate the conservation and research of the coastal marine ecosystems in which we operate. Always guided by a team of professionals passionate about science, nature, and community life, we create momentum to achieve our vision of sustainable coral reefs for the benefit of all of us.

¿What is Meaningful Diving?

Meaningful diving (Buceo con Propósito) is our philosophy of diving for marine conservation. In Corales de Paz we see and practice diving as a nature conservation tool, promoter of social development in coastal areas, and also a vehicle for change and mobilization of our society.

Using the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals as a guide, Corales de Paz seeks to strengthen and maintain national and international efforts to conserve the ecosystem services provided by coral reefs and other coastal marine ecosystems in such a way that these efforts promote natural recovery, adaptation, and the construction of functional reefs in the face of climate change.

In the exercise of our mission, Corales de Paz has reached 9 locations, in 6 countries around the world, with our own staff and aligned with the practice of citizen science, as well as the objectives of local partners. Our commitment to running high-quality, large-scale citizen science and coral restoration programs has earned us the recognition of numerous organizations such as Conservation International, Nature Seychelles, the Coral Restoration Consortium, the University of Milano-Bicocca, the Marine and Research Higher Education Center (MaRHE), and Manchester Metropolitan University. The work of our team and members has also been recognized by Semana Sostenible, Futuro Verde, Catorce6 and the World Economic Forum, among others.
