Volunteer in Mozambique on the Marine Research Project and help with hands-on whale shark research and monitoring of various wildlife – coral reefs, humpback whales, and populations of reef fish and larger species such as manta rays and leopard sharks. Plus, explore one of Africa’s best scuba diving destinations. 

Our project coordinator, an experienced marine biologist, will lead educational presentations about various species that you're likely to encounter and the threats they face. Then, we'll head out into the ocean to search for the specific marine life that we monitor. You will also get involved in beach cleanups and data collection for an international survey on the presence of microplastics in coastal areas.

As part of the project, you will complete an internationally recognized dive qualification, along with 4 or 5 ocean activities (ocean safaris or research dives) each week. If you are already a certified diver, inquire about reduced fees without the dive course.

Accommodation is in shared dorm rooms in a beautiful beachside lodge with a pool. All meals are included. The location, Tofo Beach, is fun and lively, with plenty to keep you busy on weekends.
