My experience at Sorce

Hello! I’m Alexa, and I did my Marine Biology A-Level course from January to May 2025.

These past few months have been incredible. Not only have I learned so many new things about marine life and its intricate balance, I have also learned about the importance of having healthy, thriving oceans and how it affect us. Going into depth, not only in theory but also in practice, makes a huge difference. Here at Sorce, we are surrounded by the things that are shown in our courses; we get to experience them firsthand, and it gives a whole new perspective to our studies. We were able to do practical activities and excursions linked to our courses, and we were given opportunities to see things that are mostly inaccessible to most people.

Adding to our courses, we could also live the conservation part of Sorce, with the coral plantations and maintenance while diving almost every day, the super fun and muddy mangrove plantings, and the informative lectures that are given.

But for me, the best part was not the beautiful, calm beaches or the amazing diving, it was the people that I found here. Every person at Sorce has turned my experience into something unforgettable; they are the heart of this organization. At Sorce you can find yourself a new little island family :)
