Diving the World's Reefs

[straightrazorguy]

Even before I got into reefing I have been fascinated by the underwater world. I have my SCUBA certification, and would like to go diving again this winter. Most dives I've done have been quite touristy, as diving operators cater to...tourists. I would like to do some dives where I could potentially learn something about the habitat, the reef, and so on. I'm an engineer with a reef habit, and I learn quickly. Has anybody come across any such diving/ education operation? I'm willing to fly across the world for this...
