Important Information
How will I spend my days ?
The goal of our programs is to train you to collect scientific valid data that is used to strengthen (local) conservation efforts. Therefor you will be diving a lot, if not every day ! To make sure that the data you collect is of high quality. We start with fish identification quizzes and exams.
