It’s just amazing how much you will learn in just one week with our one-week marine Conservation Internship.
The conservation internship starts with an introduction into marine ecology and marine conservation with the SSI Marine ecology course. This three and a half-day course will cover topics such as:
- Ocean Environments
- Coral Reefs
- State of coral reefs
- Conservation methodology
- Ecological principles
The Conservation Internship program will have classroom presentations combined with a total of 5 dives that will focus on identification skills, survey skills, and advanced buoyancy skills.
Additional dives during your conservation internship week will also include:
- Marine animal observation night dive
- Practice survey dive
- Artificial reef introduction dive
- Artificial reef maintenance dive
Dive equipment rental, boat and tank fees, course certification fee, and eco pack cost are all included in the main cost for the program.
Accommodation, food, travel, and airfare are not included in the program cost.
To participate in the Conservation Internship or any of our other ecology courses/programs you must be an advanced diver or higher and have had diving experience within the last 6 months.
Don’t forget! Because of the extra nitrogen your body builds up while scuba diving, you cannot fly within 24hrs of your last dive.
Are you fit to dive?
