May 24, 2024by: Juliette GardProgram: Mexico Marine Conservation Short-Term InternshipMy experience at GVI in Puerto Morelos was wonderful. I learned so much about conservation during my stay, was able to significantly improve my diving ability and qualifications, and made new friends while living in a beautiful town. The staff were so knowledgeable and passionate about their work, and because of them I felt completely safe at all times, both while diving and living in Puerto Morelos. The program was well suited to what I was looking for and I really enjoyed learning the different species and becoming familiar with the reefs. I feel as if I developed a lot of skills, both personally and professionally, and would highly recommend the GVI Mexico program.
I love GVI Mexico and plan to come back to be with all these amazing people again.
