Marine Conservation and PADI Divemaster Internship in Fiji

On this PADI Divemaster and marine conservation internship, you’ll spend your days diving around and protecting some of the most beautiful underwater creatures in the world. You will collect data that will enable the community to manage Marine Protected Areas. The first phase of this internship starts with our marine conservation expedition. You will train for 12 weeks to advance your scuba diving skills while exploring the deep blue waters of the Pacific Ocean. You will gain intimate knowledge of how a marine conservation base operates whilst gathering valuable ecological data on the reed and related ecosystems. On successful completion of the expedition phase, you will undertake your PADI Divemaster course during your 12-week work placement phase at a local dive center. You will spend the majority of your time on this internship scuba diving, and therefore require at least a PADI Open Water qualification or equivalent to join.

Volunteering with International Volunteer HQ alongside the incredible team at my placement in Kenya has been one of the most humbling and grounding experiences of my life. I arrived thinking I was coming to give time, energy, skills, support. What I didn’t expect was how much I would receive in return. Every day here has been a reminder of the power of dignity, resilience, and community. I have witnessed strength that doesn’t shout, hope that doesn’t give up, and kindness that shows up even when resources are limited. The people at the women's education placement lead with heart, purpose, and an unwavering commitment to uplifting others not just for today, but for generations to come. This experience has slowed me down in the best possible way. It has invited me to listen more deeply, to be present, and to remember that real impact starts with human connection. The smiles, the conversations, the shared moments they stay with you. They change you. I am deeply grateful to IVHQ for creating a bridge that allows volunteers like me to step into meaningful, respectful, community-led work. And I am endlessly thankful to my placement in Kenya for welcoming me with open arms and trusting me to be part of their story, even for a short time. This is not a trip I will “return from” unchanged. It is an experience I will carry forward into my work, my relationships, and how I show up in the world. Thank you for reminding me that service is not about saving, it’s about standing beside, learning together, and honoring the shared humanity that connects us all.
