Important Information
How will I spend my days ?
This Program is offered as add-on to our 4 week and 8 week or integrated in the 12 week Divemaster Program. 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.
Each program also includes presentations on fish biology and ecology, to give you a better understanding of the fish populations in our local environment. And after diving there is of course data entry.
It is a full day program but there is time in the schedule that allows you to go and explore the amazing nature and wildlife that Costa Rica has to offer. Have a look at the tours & activities that we offer ! Contact us directly for any of your questions at info@richcoastdiving.com.
