Research Tools & Scientific Innovation
Effective restoration must be grounded in data.
Since 2020, REEF Scuba has conducted, planned, and organized hands-on, scientifically monitored restoration projects.
Our research focuses on applied, actionable marine science, including:
Coral reef restoration and nursery methods
Coral health, bleaching mitigation, and shading technologies
Coral spawning patterns and environmental predictors
AI for underwater species identification
Development of low-cost restoration tools for divers
Our team of marine scientists and dive professionals is advancing the field of ecosystem recovery, and helping more people initiate and take part in impactful reef restoration.

Our Tools •
Coral Species AI
Currently testing the accuracy of version 1.0 to help you identify coral species with the latest AI.
Coral Spawning
We made the Indo-Pacific Coral Spawning Database easier to use. Find coral spawning events around you and print a report to supercharge your work. Expanding to more locations soon.
Coral Shading
Helping you decide when, for how long, and with what method to shade coral.
Our team has collaborated with researchers from Europe, Asia, and North America, including graduate students and scientists working on coral restoration and AI applications in marine biology.
We welcome collaborations with universities, research institutes, NGOs, tech companies, teachers and education programs.
