    Om programmet

    If you enjoy spending time in the ocean and dream of island living, you’re cut out to be a volunteer on our Shark Conservation High School Special in Fiji. This project is open to adventurous teens from all corners of the globe who are passionate about protecting oceans.

    Volunteer shark conservation work in Fiji for high school students will give you loads of opportunities to learn important life skills, like working closely with a team. Talk about your experience in interviews or applications, and show your ability to commit to a good cause. It will give your CV an extra edge.

    You don’t require any prior experience or training. During your first week, you’ll earn your PADI Open Water certification. If you already have this, you’ll move on to an Advanced Open Water course. Our diving instructors will be with you throughout training and during each dive to ensure safety.


    Dates available:

    • 28 June 2026 to 11 July 2026 - 2 Weeks
    • 19 July 2026 to 01 August 2026 - 2 Weeks

    Typisk dag

    During your first week on the project, you focus on your diving course. By the second week, you’ll be in the water and can start doing research.

    Let’s take a look at a few of the specific things you’ll do:

    • Complete your PADI Open Water Diving qualification
    • Conduct survey dives to do important research
    • Help with beach clean-ups and get muddy planting mangroves
    • Expand your horizons by experiencing Fiji and its culture
    • High school students volunteering with sharks in Fiji will focus on the following areas:

    Learn to dive and get a PADI Open Water qualification

    The first part of the project will focus entirely on getting you comfortable in the water. Those who have no diving experience will do a PADI Open Water course. If you already have that qualification, you’ll level up to Advanced Open Water.

    PADI diving certifications don’t have an expiration date, so this qualification will enable you to explore underwater worlds for many years to come! Once you’ve completed your PADI training, you’ll also take part in a Shark Conservation Diver Course.

    Survey dives

    You’ll be conducting survey dives in different areas of Beqa Lagoon which will include a shark dive under supervision of qualified Dive Masters. You’ll be collecting important data that will be part of our global shark research.

    Shore-based activities

    On the tamer side of things, you will help us do beach clean-ups. Local children will join you, making it a great opportunity to talk to them about ocean conservation and share why it’s important.

    You will also help plant mangroves. Mangroves provide homes to many species of plants and animals. They also play a protective role for communities and vulnerable coastlines by preventing soil erosion and providing cover from extreme weather. Mangrove reforestation plays an important role in our overall conservation efforts in Fiji.

    In 2024, high school volunteers planted approximately 2,500 mangrove propagules in the Projects Abroad nursery!

    Experiencing Fiji and its culture

    During your two week program, you will also have plenty of opportunities to socialise with your fellow volunteers, make new friends, and experience island life.

    Staff members will be present to supervise and guide all these activities to ensure everyone’s safety throughout the programme.

    Experiencing Fiji and its culture

    During your two week program, you will also have plenty of opportunities to socialise with your fellow volunteers, make new friends, and experience island life. The weekend trip is usually:

    Saturday
    Head to Navua and take a long boat ride up the scenic Navua River. From waterfalls to a tropical rainforest, this is the perfect chance for you to soak in the views. After the boat ride, visit a Fijian village and see how the locals here live. Later on, float downstream on inner tubes over gentle rapids, enjoying the sights and the cool river water.

    Sunday
    Spend the day swimming and frolicking at the beach and enjoy a sumptuous lunch at the Uprising Beach resort, while soaking up the sun rays. Return to the accommodation to learn about the importance of mangroves and how you can support the conservation mission through the Mangrove workshop. 

    Staff members will be present to supervise and guide all these activities to ensure everyone’s safety throughout the programme.

    Hämtning på flygplatsen på Nadi International Airport

    A Projects Abroad staff member will be there to meet you when you first arrive at Nadi Airport (NAN). It’s only around a 15 minute drive to the centre of Nadi. The cost of your airport transfer is included in your initial project fee, so you don’t need to worry about extra expenses.

    As you’re going to be based at our Conservation Project in Pacific Harbor, then depending on the time of your arrival, you may stay the night in Nadi at a local host family. A member of staff will then collect you the following morning and put you on the bus to Suva.

    If you arrive on an earlier flight, then you will be put on the next available bus to Pacific Harbor. Our staff will meet you at the bus stop, and take you to your accommodation.

    Boende

    You'll share accommodation with other Projects Abroad volunteers during your stay in Pacific Harbour. This is a great way to get to know your fellow volunteers, share experiences, and explore your surroundings in your time together.

    On our High School Specials, we will always try to have you share a room with at least one volunteer or intern of the same gender and approximate age. Your room will be modest, but comfortable, clean, and safe.

    Mat och Dryck

    Your programme fees include three meals a day.
