    Sobre o programa

    Ready for an adventure like no other? Get your PADI with us and dive into a world of volunteering where you can experience some of the best coral reefs in the world, make a difference in marine conservation research, and explore an untouched piece of South Africa, all rolled into one epic program!

    Pack your beach gear and get ready to make waves in one of the world's top dive sites – Sodwana Bay! This picturesque paradise is a hidden gem, waiting for you to discover. Dive headfirst into the vibrant blue ocean, soak up the sun on the sandy shores, or take a refreshing dip in Lake Sibaya. And when the sun starts to set, sip on some drinks while enjoying the breathtaking view. With all this and more, you'll never run out of things to do on our volunteer vacation!

    The project also offers Marine Lectures so volunteers can learn more about the ocean and marine conservation, these lectures are short and casual. Volunteers also get a certificate at the end of their stay to say they have completed the lecture series, this can be added to their CV. Once database and lectures are done volunteers are free to relax at the camp or go exploring in town. Volunteers can then head out for sundowners at a local viewpoint or have a braai (barbecue) at the fire area. Every night the staff organize a fire, this is great to experience a traditional South African braai, relax and socialize. Come now and be part of this amazing and once in a lifetime opportunity!

    Dia típico

    Volunteers arrive on the first Friday of the month. The Saturday after arrival, volunteers will receive a camp orientation. The rest of this weekend can be used to settle in and get to know other volunteers and interns. 
    • Week one will be used to complete the CMAS One Star or PADI Open Water course or the volunteer’s chosen course. The duration of the course will depend on the course chosen and the volunteer’s ability to complete skills. The CMAS One Star and PADI Open Water courses typically take between four and five days to complete. If volunteers do not have the required number of dives, this can be obtained during the first week and the course will begin thereafter.  
    • Once volunteers are qualified divers, they dive each day during the week, Monday to Friday. One dive a day is included in the price, extra dive packages can be bought so volunteers can dive twice a day. During dives volunteers collect photographic data of manta rays, ragged-tooth sharks, turtles, whales and nudibranchs. This data is entered into international marine conservation databases after dives. We offer Marine Lectures to increase knowledge about the ocean, these are short and casual. After their stay volunteers receive a certificate for the lecture that can be added to their CV.  
    • The rest of the day can be spent relaxing and exploring. There are a lot of activities to keep volunteers busy, read the things to do list below. During weekends there are more trips, we do overnight trips to Kosi Bay or trips to Lake Sibaya for sundowners and a braai
