Program description: |
|
|
You could choose no better place to learn to scuba-dive than Thailand, especially the beautiful coastline and coral reefs of Krabi Province in the Andaman sea. Join our conservation programme and you'll qualify as a PADI Open Water Diver (a qualification recognised all over the world) and take part in our unique marine life and coral reef research. As part of the PADI qualification you'll learn the fundamental theoretical and practical aspects of diving and you'll complete your qualification dives in the clear, warm water of the Gulf of Thailand.
Once you are qualified, you will be able to participate fully in the conservation work. By observing and analysing reef damage and fish populations, you'll be helping to find the best ways to protect marine life from the dangers of increased tourism and human negligence. The diving is some of the best in the world and you'll have the chance to observe a wide variety of marine life including turtles, rays, harmless reef sharks and hundreds of species of multicoloured tropical fish.
However it's not all diving. We have deliberately tailored this project to give our volunteers a complete conservation experience, so you'll be involved in a number of different activities on land and in the water - all of which have the common goal of improving the coastal environment of Thailand.
