Seychelles Environmental Conservation Short-Term Internship

I had such an amazing time here, surrounded by people from all over the world with the same values, goals, and passions as me. It is an incredible experience and introduction into the field of conservation.

The course was fun and interesting however not much scientific work is completed. We do surveys and point outs however not much else. The accommodation is good however the base was overpacked for the majority of my stay which lead to meals taking for ever to cook as they had to cook for 35+ people. Bathrooms became dirty really quickly and the dives were very limited due to the numbers. sometimes you would only dive 4 times a week or even less as the boat is unpredictable and breaks and the tides are really extreme. However overall i enjoyed my time at GVI Seychelles and learnt stuff that i would have never thought i would learn. i also met some amazing people and it has changed my life for the better. it was amazing.

I loved the Curieuse base so much. I am looking to work closely with sharks and Curieuse gave me that first opportunity and opened up the doors for me. I have learned so much and my experience there was life-changing. If you want a good first step into the field of conservation I recommend the Curieuse base! Keep an open mind and love simply and you will have the best time. Thank you Curieuse for everything you offered and more.
