The experience of a lifetime .. ✨

I guess the scoring says it all… I am not big with words which is why I can’t even describe how much this project gave me after 2 years of Covid. It enabled me to reconnect with why I chose to engage in marine conservation in the first place. In my 10 week divemaster internship on Gili Air (one of the most beautiful and calming places I have ever been to) I regained so much confidence in myself and my abilities, not only when it comes to diving but also in every part of my life. Everyone part of this project contributes to making this trip the experience of a lifetime. Rose and Andreas, founders of GiliSharkConservation and owners of VillaNangka (which will become your home in paradise during this project) are two of the most inspiring people I have ever met and will be there to help you during all times. Just as the whole team of GiliShark, VillaNangka and Oceans5, the local dive center collaborating with GiliShark.

It doesn‘t matter who you are, where you come from, how many dives (if even) you did before or if you already got involved with marine conservation work.
Everyone is welcome and should take the chance of joining, if having some interest in marine conservation and sharing our love for the underwater world.
No regrets guaranteed!

Thanks to everyone that made my time on Gili Air the best of my life! I will come back.
