Staff Spotlight: Michaela Dudasova

My favorite memory comes from Galapagos, where I have witnessed that humans are able to coexist and protect wildlife. My experience in Fiji started with a shark conservation project that brought me to my current job within Indo Ocen Project in Indonesia. I have experienced a proper life village with bucket showers :)

Yes. I have gained professional diving knowledge. Also understanding group dynamics within the diving industry and politics. How to encourage people positively, and how to overcome their fear of current and the mental pressure. I have become a better listener. Able to deal with various personality types and tailor training approach.

We have a student from Italy who we had to send home when COVID hit the world and after 2 years she came back to complete her program with us. We have also a fun diver in our diver shop who has done a number of certifications and then returned to us to complete divemaster & marine conservation training.

Research program. Since I have completed my program as a first intern of the Indo Ocean Project the program was still in the basic program stage. On this day our current interns have the opportunity to experience our mangrove project, survey dive program, BRUV, coral watching, coral restoration, and many more. I would like to experience their programs as a student.

We are raising professional divers and marine conservationists. We are able to change people's life, showing them different directions and reaching personal goals. Our main uniqueness comes through our passion. All staff who work for Indo Ocean Project are passionate about their job. Our job is not only a job but a lifestyle.
