About Program

A wonderful project for those who are interested in conducting important research and conservation efforts through daily diving and laboratory work.

Help save the depleting coral reefs which are essential for the survival of many breeds of tropical fish. See the effects of coral bleaching, physical damage, over fishing, climate change and contamination that have compromised this underwater paradise.

Spend your days monitoring the local ecosystem and developing improvement methods for reef conservation. You will be collecting samples, observing fish behavior, taking photographs and measurements, gathering data, growing ‘nubbins’, measuring water temperature and contributing to coral reef clean ups.

Learn to dive and gain a qualification in this friendly fishing village of Chalok Lum. This is perfect work experience for those looking to study marine based university subjects and also a great chance to experience the delights of this fantastic country.

Sustainability

Oyster Worldwide is passionate about the importance of responsible travel. We want our projects to fit in with the local way of life, without having a negative impact on the environment, culture or economy. This means that we will only send participants to places where there is a real need and where we have been asked to work. Once there, they should fit in with the community, respecting their way of life and supporting, rather than taking, local jobs.
