About Program

Combine your love for service and marine life on this incredible two-week course. Travel to the famous Caribbean archipelago of Bocas del Toro, Panama to begin earning your Scuba Diver or Advanced Scuba Diver certification. Head out by powerboat on a 3-day island-hopping service expedition. Stay overnight and discover the way of life for remote island communities. Transfer to the natural wetlands of San San Pond Sak where you will discover why local sea turtle populations are an endangered species. Get hands-on experience helping to release newly-hatched turtles, excavating old nesting sites, and completing night patrols to monitor mama sea turtles laying their eggs in the sand.

Additional activities on this course will include spotting elusive sloths at Sloth Island, wakeboarding and kneeboarding, exploring a limestone cave, enjoying the white sand beach of Playa Carenero, and conserving the environment through reforestration projects.

Yes, I recommend this program

Best trip EVER!

Aug 6, 2019

This trip was better than I expected it to be. I did not really know what to expect but it better than I could have ever imagined!!!! It was life changing! The staff is very nice and made it great! I feel like we all became close friends. I think we will stay in touch with each other for many years to come. The staff was excellent and very knowledgeable in all aspects of the trip, from the actual activities to group relationships. I felt I was challenged in many ways. It helped me grow as a person in many areas and ways. I highly recommend this trip and would love to do it again! I would highly recommend this to other kids. I would like to do it all over again! I thought the length of the trip was just right! I wasn’t ready to leave but had to!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Do this trip! You don’t need as much stuff as the packing list says. You’re basically in your swimsuit the whole time!
