Program Overview

Experiencing the Great Barrier Reef is a bucket list item for many. Combine with marine conservation activities, and you have a volunteering program like no other! This amazing dive (or snorkel) program allows budding marine conservation volunteers to learn or improve their skills through a well-renowned dive operator while participating in a credible reef monitoring program.

With a high commitment to environmental protection and sustainability, this unique dive program falls under the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority’s monitoring program, “Eye on the Reef”, and is designed for volunteers interested in scuba diving, marine conservation, and spending time in this incredible marine park. From learning to dive, advancing your dive skills, or participating as a snorkeler, all volunteers will spend time with reef experts to monitor the reef and its marine inhabitants for the Marine Park’s conservation program.

Volunteers will find this to be an amazing learning and conservation experience. For those with a passion for marine conservation, this program promises to deliver a life-changing experience.
