One interesting package Ocean Republic offers is the combination of both the Open Water certification and Sea Shepherd Dive’s Coral Propagation Course. This offering is completely unique to any other dive shop in Koh Tao and all of Asia.[/ultimate_heading][ult_buttons btn_title=”More info” btn_link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.oceanrepublicdiving.com%2F||target:%20_blank|” btn_title_color=”#ffffff” btn_bg_color=”” btn_title_color_hover=”#0cb496″ icon_size=”32″ btn_icon_pos=”ubtn-sep-icon-at-left” btn_border_style=”solid” btn_color_border=”#ffffff” btn_color_border_hover=”#0cb496″ btn_border_size=”1″ btn_radius=”3″ btn_font_family=”font_family:Poppins|font_call:Poppins|variant:500″ btn_font_style=”font-weight:500;” btn_font_size=”desktop:16px;”]

In fact, it is almost impossible to go somewhere on the island without seeing an Ocean Republic / SSD t-shirt, or some sort of Sea Shepherd sign—it’s a beautiful thing. The coral nursery here is in a prime location, straight out from the beach, making shore access possible and coral propagation incredibly easy.[/ultimate_heading]
