In Caqalai, a small beach encircled island located east of Fiji’s main island, Viti Levu, you’ll gain your PADI Advanced Open Water qualification. With frequent diving expeditions, this is an opportunity to enhance your diving skills, while learning about the prevalent conservation concerns of the island. 

Work alongside local conservationists, GVI staff, and fellow participants to conduct underwater surveys to record and better understand the coral reef ecology and species ecosystems in the area. To further support environmental awareness in the local community, you’ll collaborate with local community members to lead conservation-focused workshops. 

Your contributions support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (UN SDG) 13: Climate Action, and Goal 14: Life Below Water. 

The program duration varies between a 4-week duration for experienced divers who have a PADI Open Water Diver or equivalent and non-divers who will be eligible to join an eight-week or 12-week duration program.
