Amazing experience! - Divemaster Nusa Penida

My experience with IOP was incredible! I spent 8 weeks on Nusa Penida participating in the Divemaster + Research Diver course. The professionalism and support of the staff guided me to become a more confident diver and knowledgeable conservationist. All ecology and conservation workshops are educational and engaging, learning of the stunning animals seen around Nusa Penida. From great Manta rays to tiny Nudibranchs, all the wildlife is spectacular.
My favourite activities were the dives including scientific research, such as BRUV drops, fish surveys and coral restoration. Being involved in these has given me an understanding of data collection and entry for marine research, increasing my passion for research diving.
My fellow interns and all the people I met during my stay on Penida were all so welcoming and friendly creating a very social atmosphere.
I would 100% recommend this course.
