Our Marine Conservation Program offers a powerful mix of hands-on ocean conservation, environmental education, community awareness, and unforgettable island experiences. Designed for volunteers who want to make a real impact, this program combines practical marine work with meaningful learning and cultural connection.

• 70% ocean-based conservation activities
• 30% theory, education, and community-based learning
• Theory and school-based sessions are subject to school holidays, local schedules, and teacher availability
• The program is designed to be active, practical, and immersive, with most of your time spent directly engaging with Bali’s marine environment

• Hands-on conservation experience in one of Bali’s most beautiful coastal regions
• 3–4 dives per week, depending on weather, conditions, and project schedule
• Opportunities for recreational dives in other parts of the island, typically around 3 dives
• A mix of coral reef restoration, reef clean-ups, marine education, and conservation awareness
• The chance to explore famous dive locations such as Lovina Reef, Menjangan Island, and the Tulamben Shipwreck
• A meaningful balance of adventure, education, conservation, and cultural discovery

Volunteers take part in practical marine conservation work, including:

• Assisting with coral reef restoration
• Supporting reef clean-up activities
• Learning about reef health, coral growth, and marine biodiversity
• Helping protect fragile underwater ecosystems
• Exploring key dive and snorkel locations around North Bali
• Observing how tourism, waste, and human activity affect marine life

Conservation is not only about what happens in the ocean. Volunteers may also support education and awareness activities, including:

• Bringing marine conservation education into local classrooms
• Supporting awareness sessions at BDF and partner schools
• Helping young people understand the importance of ocean protection
• Assisting with plastic recycling projects
• Supporting beach and reef clean-ups
• Taking part in turtle conservation activities where available

For volunteers who want a more complete Bali experience, optional add-ons may be available at an additional cost. These create a 360-degree experience both in and above the sea.

Optional experiences may include:

• Learning to cook traditional Balinese dishes
• Visiting Bali’s famous temples
• Exploring stunning waterfalls
• Starting the day with kayaking and snorkelling
• Cultural and local community experiences
• Extra island trips or recreational activities

You do not need to be an experienced diver to enjoy the program. Activities may include snorkelling, reef awareness, education sessions, and community-based conservation work. For those who want to build confidence in the water, additional dive lessons or certification options may be available at extra cost.

• You will support real marine conservation work
• You will learn from local conservation teams
• You will help raise awareness in schools and communities
• You will experience Bali’s ocean, culture, and natural beauty
• You will contribute to protecting coral reefs, dolphins, turtles, and marine ecosystems
• You will leave with practical experience, stronger environmental awareness, and unforgettable memories

This project connects ocean conservation, education, responsible tourism, and community action. Volunteers help protect Bali’s marine environment while inspiring local awareness and long-term change.

It is more than a volunteer placement — it is an opportunity to dive with purpose, learn through experience, and become part of a movement to protect Bali’s ocean for future generations.
