Help Marine Conservation Around the World
There are lots of incredible programs of initiatives and activities focused on contributing to the global movement to protect and conserve our fragile coral reef ecosystems for future generations.
During your time you will be able to participate in a range of programs to improve you research diving skills and knowledge of marine environments. You can expect to be diving on the research and monitoring program 5 days per week, and participating in community environmental awareness initiatives one day a week.
We believe in promoting established globally recognised programs in order to help participants maximise their contribution to understanding marine environments and coral reef health.
Companies we promote adopt the Reef Check survey methodology, with volunteers being certified as Reef Check Eco Divers, a globally recognised certification that means you can participate in surveys all over the world! All the data collected is submitted to the Reef Check database to enable analysis and identification of global trends in coral reef health.
In addition to becoming a Reef Check Eco Diver, volunteers also get the opportunity be certified as PADI Reef Health Surveyor Distinctive Specialty divers, and PADI CoralWatch Coral Health Chart Specialty divers. Additional options include the PADI Shark Conservation Specialty diver and other conservation focused distinctive specialties.
Community activities are arranged and aimed at encouraging responsible and sustainable behaviours from others, whilst giving volunteers the opportunity to work with local people and have fun!
