    Sobre o programa

    Earn your PADI Advanced Open Water and PADI Reef Ecosystem Diver (RESD) Specialty certifications while making a real impact on marine conservation. Your research will provide valuable data for local government initiatives, focusing on coral reefs, fish and invertebrates. 

    With plenty of time spent underwater, you'll need at least a PADI Open Water certification to join. Don't worry if you're not certified yet – we can connect you with local dive centres to get you qualified before the program starts. And if you stay with us for over two weeks, you'll have the chance to dive deeper into coral reef survey techniques with the PADI Reef Ecosystem Diver (RESD) Specialty segment of the PADI Divemaster course, a unique opportunity from GVI and PADI.

    Location

    Welcome to Mahe, the biggest island in the Seychelles archipelago, where the Indian Ocean's turquoise waters and vibrant coral reefs are calling your name. Our Cap Ternay coastal and marine research station is perfectly situated next to the stunning Baie Ternay Marine Park. It's just a quick three-minute walk from the beach, nestled in Baie Ternay Marine National Park, where the weather is always tropical. With the nearest village and shop a thirty-minute walk away, our base feels like our own private oasis – the road literally ends at our doorstep.

    The marine life here is seriously impressive. From reef sharks to dolphins, eagle rays to colourful tropical fish, there's a ton to see. Plus, you'll spot endemic birds and all sorts of cool coastal creatures.
