- Costa Rica
About Program
Based on the stunning Pacific coast and led by our in-country staff, the Gapforce Costa Rica Marine Adventure is fully packed with skills and fun. With no time to waste, you will get full survival and marine conservation training, as well as three internationally recognised PADI qualifications. From here, we head on to volunteer at our Sea Turtle conservation project!
Putting your training into practice, you will make a real impact protecting the sea turtle population on a vital, long-term conservation project. Your hands-on duties will include the rescue, rehabilitation and release of turtles using our patrol boat, whilst also assisting on the reforestation of mangroves.
This tropical adventure will have you meeting like-minded volunteers and swimming with sharks, rays, whales & turtles!

Location
A pioneer of ecotourism, Costa Rica draws many tourists to its extensive series of national parks and other protected areas. Costa Rica began reversing deforestation in the 1990s, and they are moving towards using only renewable energy. Head to the cloud forest, relax on the beautiful beaches, or visit a coffee farm.
