Marine conservation in Belize
A real experience and trip of a lifetime. We met friends for life and experienced thing we may never get opportunity to experience again.  (more)
From £650 - £5925 excluding flights
Whale Shark diving conservation in Seychelles
Most exciting was 5 days of going out with the whale sharks - all equally brilliant and completely different experiences and behaviour each day. Getting into the water the first time and seeing the giants in the flesh was unforgettable. (more)

Marine Conservation and Diving Volunteering

Marine conservation is a particular type of conservation vacation that is dedicated to the protection and preservation of ecosystems in oceans and seas as well as protecting vulnerable marine species. Marine conservation research is a relatively new discipline and relies on scientific principles derived from marine biology, oceanography and fisheries science. Volunteers in marine conservation may find themselves helping protect endangered sea turtles, monitoring dolphin behaviour or studying diverse coral reefs and fish. Much marine conservation research involves diving volunteering which allows you to collect valuable data and participate fully in the conservation work. A diving volunteer in marine conservation will have the added bonus of becoming more skilled in the fundamental theoretical and practical aspects of diving.

Make sure your dive doesn’t destroy what you’ve come to see. It's a privilege to be able to enter and experience the magical underwater world. However coral reefs around the world are under extreme threat, and if we want to ensure that our kids can enjoy the same wonderful experiences then we need to dive responsibly.
