Our conservation program is 70% diving based and 30% theory community-based.

Learning about: CoralGood to know:

Coral farm has new coral fragments (nubbins) growing, regular cleaning is required to keep the algae away. Once they are healthy, the new frames to protect them [called the nursery] can be built. You will be contributing to taking broken coral fragments and giving them a second chance to survive at our nursery. Some frames will remain on our nursery permanently as fish are using them as homes for their juveniles. 

Part taking in 'Reef cleans up' is also a vital element to this placement. Keeping the ocean clean and free of old fishing nets will help to restore the natural reefs. 

*Activities offered* includes: empowering the next generation and helping to spread the word in local schools, we take marine conservation education into our own classroom and other partner schools,  assisting in turtle conservation projects, plastic recycling projects, and beach/reef clean. 

30% Theory-based learning includes assisting the environmental educators' in local schools which will involve practical tasks in and out of the classroom. Outdoor learning will take you onto the local beach and other outdoor community engagement activities!

This program offers a 360-degree holistic experience, both in and above the sea! 

Upon arrival, we offer you a complimentary massage that will hopefully take away the aches and pains of your travel journey!
