Dive and restore coral reefs

This trip is certified divers only. You need to have at least an Open Water certificate, to make sure you are comfortable moving underwater. We also ask that you have done at least 1 dive in the last 12 months before the trip. Divers should be respectful of the delicate ecosystem, not harming the corals, fishes or other underwater creatures.

Our trips are made up of a mixture of solo travellers and small groups of 2, with most in their 30s - 50s. Everyone is very friendly and passionate about nature. People often join our trips to meet other, like-minded people.

Of course! Many people join as solo travellers and make friends along the way.

Every day, our team runs through risk assessment checklists to ensure we have all the equipment needed and are ready in case of any emergency. We will also ask you to tell us about any allergies and medical needs so that we can ensure your safety.

During dives to our project sites, we will not go further than 12 meters deep. On other diving sites, we will go up to 18-30 meters deep.

You will be able to see different stages of coral health, as we show you around untouched coral reef sites, sites where we’ve been growing coral for a year, and sites where we’ve just started. To see more, you can watch our Field Notes YouTube videos.

We will aim to do roughly 10 dives in total (2 dives x 5 days). Note this is an indication and we may do more or less depending on the group and the weather conditions.

Each dive will be maximum 60 min long.
