April 19, 2018by: Rionagh - ScotlandProgram: High School Mexico Marine Conservation AwarenessI loved my experience with GVI, I made so many friends who share the same interests as me and I can honestly say I will stay close with for many years to come.

Truly amazing experience
April 17, 2018by: Olivia - United KingdomProgram: High School Mexico Marine Conservation AwarenessThis has been a truly amazing experience that I am so glad that I got involved in. All staff were so lovely and supportive which made the whole trip feel at home. The diving was great and so were the day trips. I have made great friends and will definitely look into doing this again in the future! Thank you (:
Amazing time with GVI
April 15, 2018by: Jasmine - MexicoProgram: High School Mexico Marine Conservation AwarenessOverall I had the most amazing time and met so many lifelong friends! The quality of teaching for diving was very good and the presentations we learnt were very informative, however there was a lack of actual monitoring and research of the reef but I think this was due to a lack of correct information on the website.
