Shark conservation experience

I had a very good time in Fiji, it was a bit hard for me for the age gap between me and the other volunteers, (I'm 15 and they were at least 18) but apart from that the experience was increible. 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!

Friendly and welcoming staff, I had a great time during the project and they are very knowledgeable. Definitely learnt loads about Fijian culture and shark/mangrove conservation scene in Fiji, certainly heart warming to be able to be unde...
