Run by scammers and sales people, avoid at all costs

Run by scammers avoid at all cost. I spoke to one of the course reps for the Seychelles internship who sold to me the perfect experience in order for me to put down a deposit. After I had, I arranged a call with another rep the following week who told me multiple things I had been told were not true and hadn't even heard of some of them. Things including the price of the course, a career guarantee and equipment provided were all mis-sold to me. Naturally, I tried to cancel the course straight away through the 'Escalation Form' (the only means for a refund) which details you will receive a reply within two working days. I submitted this form around 3 weeks ago, no reply, no help from seemingly the only person who works for them when you call the help number. The company is completely disorganised and more concerned with securing deposits from people trying to make a positive change in the world than actually making a difference for young professionals. I would hate to see anyone else go through what I have, please consider other options for your own sake.

Had the best time of my life in Cap Ternay! Met some amazing friends! Learned so many interesting new things about marine conservation. Diving twice a day is amazing! So many beautiful marine life. The best feeling to feel completely comfortable under water. Thanks to the experience I've build a lot of dive skills. Staff are always friendly and helpful. You will not regret participating on this program.

Very fun experience, living in Cap Ternay helps build you as a person, forces you to overcome fears and allows you to create unbreakable bonds with friends. It has been a very enjoyable experiences and I've loved and learnt from every moment of it.
