Marine Conservation & Diving

Protect coral reefs. Restore marine ecosystems. Dive into purpose.

Dive into Impact as a Marine Volunteer Overseas

Dive into the world of marine conservation and protect some of the most biodiverse ocean ecosystems on the planet. Our Marine Conservation & Diving programs are designed for volunteers who want to actively contribute to coral reef protection, sea turtle research, sustainable fisheries, marine habitat restoration, and community-led ocean conservation initiatives.

Whether you’re a certified diver or completely new to the ocean, our projects offer a meaningful way to experience ethical ocean conservation volunteer travel while exploring vibrant reefs, tropical islands, and coastal communities across Africa.

As a marine conservation volunteer, you won’t just observe the ocean, you’ll become part of a team working toward long-term, science-based solutions for marine protection.
