Awesome Experience

For 4 weeks, I took part in Project Abroad’s Diving and Marine Conservation Project. As soon as I arrived, there was someone waiting for me at the airport, ready to take me to the accommodation. All the Projects Abroad staff were helpful and friendly, making me feel welcome.

Within a week of arriving, I received my PADI Open Water diving certification, allowing me to go diving with the volunteers three times a week (with two dives on each day). When I went diving, I did coral and anemone surveys, which was a fantastic way of experiencing the colourful and beautiful reefs. In addition to scuba diving, we also did beach clean ups, mangrove relocation and visiting turtle and elephant rehabilitation centres.

I highly recommend this experience to those looking to do scuba diving in a beautiful location, meet people from all around the world and to learn more about the world around them.
