The best project in a great city!

What an incredible 2 weeks in Barcelona living like a local and getting to dive 5 days a week. The best parts of this trip were the people I got to meet from my program to other volunteers and more. Having previous experience scuba diving (PADI AOW 34 dives) allowed me to fine tune my skills. Regardless of the impact I had there locally being able to document my work and share with friends and family I feel made the greatest impact. Wish I could’ve been there longer.

Diving excursion to Costa Brava

Best experience of my life

At first I was nervous to be in a new country with new people. The first week was stressful but I grew a lot as a person. As I met more people, I had a really great time. We were always going out for drinks, getting lunch/dinner, seeing different sights, etc. My instructors in marine conservation were some of the nicest and most helpful people I’ve ever met. They were very patient whenever I would mess something up and they would show me the correct way to handle it. They always made sure your safety was a priority. I went into this program thinking I’d never be able to understand all the gear and how to use it, but within just 2 days I was able to set up my gear on my own!

Remarkable journey

From the moment I arrived at Barcelona, it was evident that the organization had meticulously planned and coordinated every aspect of our volunteering trip. The warm welcome and orientation provided a comprehensive understanding of the local culture, community needs, and the projects we would be involved in. This level of preparation gave me confidence and reassurance, setting the stage for an unforgettable adventure. Clara was very helpful and took care of every need immediately. She was available to answer questions anytime and made sure all the volunteers are well taken care of. This volunteering trip was an incredible and transformative experience. It allowed me to connect with remarkable individuals, and witness the profound impact of collective action. I wholeheartedly recommend embarking on a volunteering trip to anyone seeking personal growth, cultural immersion, and the opportunity to create positive change. It is a journey that will forever inspire and empower you. Cheers!
