Marine Conservation Volunteers are needed now to work with our Costa Rican NGO, to help protect their marine life. We include survival and marine conservation training plus you gain three internationally recognised PADI qualifications up to and including Advanced Diver. Manta rays, dolphins, sea turtles, sharks and even whales are just some of the marine wildlife you may see on your marine adventure!
Once dive qualified, you’ll head further along the coast to our much needed sea turtle conservation project. Here you can expect to get very hands on, as you join our patrol boat in the Pacific Ocean, to help the marine scientists better protect this amazing coast line.
