Diving and Marine Conservation in Thailand - 2 weeks volunteering 'taster'

This project is perfect for anyone fascinated by marine life. You will complete a four day Open Water Scuba course to qualify you to dive. In the initial stages, in shallow water, you will learn how to breathe, clear your mask and equalise pressure. You will also become familiar with the 'buddy' system and underwater sign language.

When you have qualified your efforts are rewarded as you descend to a stunningly clear underwater world of tropical fish, turtles, sea urchins and corals that you never knew existed. You will also help with important mangrove reforestation work and a beach clean-up programme.

After your two or three weeks, you return home with a universally recognised qualification, valuable diving experience and the knowledge that you have made a useful contribution to the preservation of a wonderful marine ecosystem - and some great memories of Thailand.

Volunteering in Thailand in your Summer Holidays

All volunteers on our conservation project in Thailand will be met by one of our staff in Krabi, just 20km from Ao Nang where the project is based.

The price of this placement is £1195, with an additional charge of £395 if you want to extend for an extra week. This includes accommodation, food, insurance, in-country transportation and support, work experience and leisure activities.

Diving and Marine Conservation in Thailand also runs as one of our standard projects, for anyone aged 17 and up. For more information please follow this link: Conservation & Environment in Thailand
