Great time in Penida

I've always wanted to be able to combine my greatest passion, diving, with marin conservation. Since I was a child, I have always dreamed of being able to experience the sea and its ecosystems first hand. Thanks to IOP, I was able to experience what it means to work for ocean conservation, encouraging me to continue on this front despite the fact that I am don't come from the scientific world, this experience made me realise that you don't necessarily have to be a biologist to be able to work in conservation.

During these two and a half months I was able to learn so much about marine ecology, research and data collection. In addition, I was able to practice and learn a lot from top level instructors thanks to the Reeflex team.

I would like to thank so much all the IOP and Reeflex staff for the wonderful opportunity during which I was also able to make new wonderful friends.

An experience that I recommend to everyone and that I will always carry in my memories!
