Dive into a unique volunteer opportunity with GoEco's Private Island Marine Conservation Experience in Belize. This program allows you to immerse yourself in the stunning beauty of Belize's marine ecosystems while making a tangible difference in their preservation. As a volunteer, you'll use your diving skills to contribute to protecting the delicate coral reef ecosystems that provide food, protection, and shelter to a myriad of marine animals. These ecosystems are under threat due to various factors, and your involvement can help mitigate these threats. Throughout your time on the island, you'll engage in a variety of marine preservation tasks, ranging from survey dives to species identification. You might even have the chance to photograph whale sharks. But the experience isn't all work. You'll also have the freedom to choose how much you want to get involved. All dives are voluntary, so when you're not diving, you can relax in a hammock with a good book, fish from the island, or engage in sea kayaking or stand-up paddle boarding.
