Fantastic Project!

I had a fantastic time with the Gili Shark project. I spent two weeks with them- one getting my rescue certification, one diving with the conservation team. The dive shop they work with (Oceans 5) was fantastic and one of the best dive shops I’ve experienced. I really appreciated how much they emphasized safety as their top priority- not just making money thru certifying unqualified divers.

The people on the conservation project itself were also fantastic. They all welcomed me on day 1 and I felt like I had a family the entire time I was there. The work they do for oceanic conservation is top notch, as is the training they provided on Reef check and fish ID. I definitely wish I had more time on the project and I would go back in a heartbeat!
