The Story Behind Coral Eye
Four young marine biologists decided to pursue their dreams and passions and set up a marine outpost right in the heart of the Coral Triangle. When the project came to life in 2009, the original idea was to create a co-working outpost where universities and students could exchange ideas and develop their projects on tropical marine environments.
In 2013, following the construction of the diving center and lots of hard work, Coral Eye opened its doors to tourism as an alternative to mix science with passion and love for the sea. Through the new concept we were able to finance environmental projects, offer scholarships to students and better support local communities.
