6 months spent in barefoot conservation, and I leave with the plan to come back. Was the best decision of my life to leave Switzerland for this project for so long.
I pass my divemaster there, with an amazing instructor.
The dive sites are wonderful, even if during the week we spent most of the time around Arborek for the science part, the Saturday is fundive so we go in all the beautiful dive sites further away.
The science part is really interesting too, we learn about fishes, substrates, inverts and damages in the reef.
Once you finish the science training you can participate to the survey dive, and collect the data.
They also have a coral nursery, in three different stages and a shallow one is an educational for the kids. We did some lines with them and they can do snorkeling to see how it grows up.
You can share with everybody and perfect your knowledges about diving, and underwater world.
I was afraid for the science training at the beginning as I don’t come from a scientific background, but they are really patient to teach you and I learnt so much.
The comfort is what you can except on a remote island like that, but all the staff (from the boat crew to the project manager) is amazing, and want to make you happy and feel good.
The food is really good too, and we all cook together once per week (as Sunday is day off for the chef).
If you plan to come, and you really want to be part of this volunteer project, don’t hesitate for a second. If you wait for a 5 stars hotel, just pass your way. – via
