Hi everyone,
I’m looking to do a 4-8 week marine conservation project next summer but I’m having trouble finding a reputable, affordable company. I’ve heard nothing but bad things about Frontier and other large companies. Has anyone got good experiences of dive/marine projects to share? Thanks alot.

Our Madagascar and Tanzania ones are both amazing for diving and marine conservation:

Tanzania Marine Conservation and Diving


Or for something (significantly!) further away, there’s also Fiji, which is quite unique in that we’re involved in creating baseline conservation data in a region that hasn’t yet been formally surveyed.

You could always try Mantanani Island of the coast of Borneo. Tropical paradise with amazing MCP programmes to keep you occupied.  Our gap year programmes run from 1 -3 months. http://www.campsinternational.com/images/stories/camp-mantanani-icon.jpg
