#AdoptACoral With Punta Mita Expeditions

As a beach destination, Punta Mita cares about the health of our own Pacific Ocean and oceans across the globe, concerned with the degradation of coral reefs and subsequent decrease in coral species and population which has had a devastating impact on the marine eco-system. With an eye to both conservation and creating incredible guest experiences, Punta Mita Expeditions, in conjunction with PROZONA AC, offers the “Adopt a Coral” program, charting new waters in environmental tourism.

The Adopt a Coral program allows visitors and locals to contribute to the health of our oceans and coral reefs by restoring coral branches below the surface. While either Scuba Diving or Hookah Diving (a surface air system which requires just a brief training session), guests are led by an expert guide through the process of relocating and planting coral in a healthy new environment where it may thrive. Your adopted coral is named (by you) and measured, your experience is captured with photos and video to share with family and friends, and you will receive updates to follow the growth of your coral in its new home.

To date, over 500 people have participated in this incredible experience which is suitable for ages 12 years and up, no previous diving experience required. For those who do dive, there is also the opportunity to be certified as a “Coral Reef Restoration Diver”, endorsed internationally by PADI. Because of this program, over 1500 new coral colonies have been created in just 2 years with an impressive survival rate of 96% and a growth rate of 200%.

This exclusive, family-friendly experience from Punta Mita Expeditions is an unforgettable additional to your time in Punta Mita and a fantastic way to be part of a long-term solution of caring for our oceans. Additionally, proceeds from the Adopt a Coral experience are donated to support other large scope restoration projects being carried out across the Mexican Pacific, making this program particularly impactful.
