About Program
Seychelles is a paradise of ecological diversity. You'll discover rare marine and land ecosystems here, and surprisingly, more than a quarter of this land is safeguarded. It's a unique opportunity for you to join hands with us in supporting sustainable projects focused on marine life, animals, and environmental conservation.
Get involved in researching coral reef recovery and climate change, work closely with marine life to pick up a range of cool conservation skills, and help gather vital data for local and government sustainability projects. And guess what? You can take your pick between our snorkelling and diving marine conservation programs!
Connect with the local community and international volunteers alike, learning about different cultures. Make new friends, get to know the interesting marine creatures that call this part of the deep blue home by snorkelling or diving, and explore the nearby islands.
