Marine Conservation Internship and PADI IDC Course in Mexico

I really enjoyed my time with GVI despite getting ill A LOT. I have made some lifelong friends on this program from all over the world which to me is invaluable. I have also gained amazing credentials and experiences, and seen some amazing animals including but not limited to nurse sharks, dolphins, eels, and many sting rays. Osmara the chef is amazing and one of the kindest people I have ever met (she became my Mama Mexicana while I was out here). I feel I have learned a lot, made an impact and am leaving a more independant and well-rounded person. Thank yyou so mucch to everyone on base for such an amazing time and I would recommend the program to anyone willing to work hard for a great goal.

An incredible experience. Learned so much new information , made so much progress with my diving skills, met so many new people and created new friendships. Puerto Morelos was a great location for this internship. the people here are amazing, and the culture is rich in so many ways. GVI helped create so many great memories, i will never forget my time spent here.

My overall experience of the marine conservation programme in Puerto Morelos has been unbelievable. I have formed such close bonds not only with other volunteers but also the fantastic staff here whose passion and encouragement is remarkable. I truly feel I've grown and learnt so much and I hope to return in the future.
