The Experience
For the ones who want to go beneath the surface, literally. Beyond the two dives a day, you’ll be trained in basic reef-survey methods by visiting marine researchers, help plant coral in an active nursery, and leave with real data logged, not just a certificate.

Reef Survey Training
Morning classroom briefing on fish-survey methods with a visiting researcher, then your first survey dive.
