Amazing program!

Being a Volunteer for the Gili Shark Conservation Project was an excellent experience. Looking to build my skills as a research diver and as a diver in general, I have learned a lot in my time at the project.
A day to day basis was a 5-day work week and a 2-day weekend. Wake up in the morning for a fish survey dive get back to the dive shop to input data and getting the chum ready for the BRUV. On a successful BRUV drop the BRUV would be dropped off in a specific location then picked up an hour later. Giving us 2 guaranteed Fish survey dives!
Our busy mornings ended with some data entry and a BRUV watch at our beautiful home base villa Nangka. Villa Nagka meaning jackfruit is a beautiful oasis. Where the giant jack fruit tree shades the kitchen. A pool (which is an excellent commodity on the island) is perfectly centered right outside your front door.
The island is a small friendly paradise for research. Rich with nutrients the reefs are brilliant with fish. This paradise island is easy to call home. With 2-3 survey dives a day this is a research paradise. The Dive sites are thriving with aquatic life. This has been one of the most amazing opportunities to live in paradise researching our beloved predator. Research on this island and the opportunity to work with Gili Shark Conservation was an amazing experience.
