Learn to Scuba Dive!
One of the most exciting aspects of this program is that you don't need previous scuba diving experience to participate in the standard expedition!
Beginners receive scuba diving training, with opportunities to progress through Open Water and Advanced Open Water training as part of their placement.
Already a certified diver? You'll have the opportunity to improve your skills, participate in marine surveys and explore some of Raja Ampat's beautiful underwater environments.
Additional diving courses, such as Rescue Diver or Divemaster, may also be available for volunteers interested in further developing their diving qualifications.
Please note that while standard diving instruction is included, PADI learning materials, certification fees and certain diving equipment costs are additional.

You'll live on a small tropical island in Raja Ampat, surrounded by beautiful beaches, friendly local communities and incredible marine life.
During your stay, you can enjoy snorkeling, swimming, relaxing on the beach and discovering Indonesian island culture.
You'll also have opportunities to meet local people and learn about the important relationship between island communities and the marine environment.
This is more than just a volunteering program. It's a chance to experience life in a beautiful and remote part of the world while learning valuable skills and contributing to marine conservation.
