A Magical Underwater Adventure with Purpose
February 09, 2026by: Catriona StewartLearning how to scuba dive in such a surreal paradise was magical. The island itself is unbelievable and the surrounding waters are perfect to learn and to snorkel in spare time. The corals are so alive, and seeing sea turtles and sharks on regular dives was amazing. Spear fishing the lionfish as part of managing their invasion was surprisingly fun and they were so tasty as well. I had hoped to be doing some more hands-on activities like marine life surveys and other things listed on the program info but hunting the lionfish is now the sole focus of the dive centre.
From Beginner to Advanced Diver in Just Three Weeks
January 16, 2026by: Anne StagiIt was a great experience! I spent 3 weeks on the tiny island with ReefCI and I would love to have spent 3 more! It was educational and a very “hands on” experience. The accommodations are rustic but clean. The people, both employees and fellow volunteers, are all welcoming, supportive, and fun to hang around with. I was not a certified scuba diver when I arrived at ReefCI, but after being there 3 weeks, I am now certified as an Advanced Open Water scuba diver. <br>The other volunteers ranged in age from a single18 year old girl to a single woman in her 70’s. It’s very safe and inclusive to all. <br>Go and have a great time!
Waking up and knowing you have three dives to look forward to
January 29, 2025by: Zoe SaevarssonThe best part of my trip in Spain was being able to wake up and know you have three dives to look forward too and making a goal for how many lionfish you want to hunt that day. Actually getting or surpassing the goal feels amazing.
