Life changing experience
December 14, 2023by: Sara Carrasco Yepes - SpainProgram: Indonesia Project - Dive Master & Research Diver InternshipNot only did I meet incredible people who made this experience more exciting but I got to learn so much about conservation and protected marine areas. All the science involved was so interesting and fullfilling which I have fallen in love with. Learning how to dive and research at the same time has become my favorite hobby and I got to do it with my friends which made it amazing. The best weeks of my year.

I was inspired to go abroad because I learn the most out of life when I am exposing myself to new cultures and places. It really opens my eyes to the privilege I hold and helps me understand what impact I can have. Going abroad helps form me into the most well-rounded and down to earth version of myself.

I have always loved traveling and scuba diving. I love exploring new cultures, places, and dive spots. I also was very keen to explore Indonesia because I had been inside so much in England during the pandemic and was excited to go and start a new life somewhere warm, next to the ocean! I had previously spent time in Bali so I knew I loved it and wanted to go back.

What inspired you to travel abroad?
Founding the Indo Ocean Project was a culmination of past successes and failures. As an experienced dive professional and research diver, I found there was a lack of programs that were able to consistently provide accurate ecological data. Citizen science has so much potential to provide worthwhile information and track changes over time, but the methodology needed to be quantifiable.
