The shark research being carried out on the project in Fiji helps ensure that scientists and marine protection lobbyists are provided with regular and consistent scientific data about the life history, reproductive information, movement, and biology of the sharks found in Fijian waters. The Shark Conservation project in Fiji from Projects Abroad allows volunteers to work on pioneering shark protection projects with respected scientists and shark research experts. Volunteers get directly involved in scientific shark research and share data with local and international marine conservation organizations. Previous diving or shark research experience is not required, but volunteers must be able to swim and be medically fit to scuba dive. Diving is a required task on the project.

I got to dive with incredible animals and get to know incredible people such as the other volunteers or the divemasters. I definitely recommend this project although I would try to match the age group if I were you.
Most memorable experience in my life!
by: Michelle Goh - SingaporeProgram: Shark Conservation in Fiji with Projects AbroadWent on this trip with an open mind and gained so much from the experiences I had in Fiji. Fell much more in love with the ocean & marine life learning how to scuba dive, truly a meaningful time volunteering alongside like minded people from all over the world. Friendly and welcoming staff, I had a great time during the project and they are very knowledgeable.
