From the moment I arrived the group and staff was very welcoming and helped with all our questions! The work is great and you get to do a lot of different things. The walks to the beaches are amazing especially the view points. So far the best thing on curieus island is the sharking this is where ...
Staff members are very nice. It takes a bit of time to get used to the base and your daily schedule but once you get used to it you will have a wonderful time. You get introduced to a life of a marine biologist who has to take care of his/her diving equipment which includes filling up your tanks by ...
It was hard at first, getting used to living in expedition conditions. But I would recommend this program to everyone!! Its literally changed my life. Diving two to three times daily, making some amazing friends ill have for life and memories ill forever cherish, all I can say is do it!! Dont come ...
