This programme is perfectly suited to scuba diving enthusiasts, beginner or qualified, looking to further their skills and use their diving experience to give something back. At the same time, you will learn all about Fijian culture and be able to relax on the numerous beaches that Fiji is renowned for.
This 6-week programme is split into 3 main sections – Cultural Experiences, Scuba Diving and Conservation. However, the programme finishes with a few days relaxing on one of Fiji’s most popular beaches, so you have a holiday week too.
Scuba Diving Course:
During the first 2 weeks you will receive your scuba diving training, which will enable you to join the conservation programme and partake in the diving at other points during the programme. Your training will require you to complete 1 scuba course – either the PADI Open Water Course or the Advanced Open Water Course.
Culture Experience:
During the first 2 weeks, you will stay with a traditional Fijian village and learn all about the way of life of these amazing friendly people.
Conservation Project:
The project aims to build an MPA (Marine Protected Area) in Savusavu Bay, Vanua Levu Island. The research you undertake will support the work of the infamous Jean Michelle Cousteau MPA located nearby.
