Amazing 4 weeks!

by: Devin Brown - United StatesProgram: Gili Shark Conservation Project in Indonesia
9

I spent 4 weeks at Gili Shark Conservation and didn't want to leave! Diving 8 times a week was amazing, tiring but amazing! there is so much biodiversity around the Gili Islands so you get to see so many different species. I had not done much diving before I went but it has become my obsession! It was so fun to get to dive so often and everyone at Blue Marlin (the dive shop we went out of) and at Gili shark was amazing in terms of making you feel safe and comfortable in the water! I became a much more confident diver while there! After diving you get to go through data if you collected it that day, which includes turtle and shark IDing sometimes, or listen to presentations about marine conservation. Then you get to explore the island! Getting to eat the local food and meet so many locals was so interesting! the food is pretty good! And you can always find people to go get food with. The Island is beautiful and the beach is never far away! Having your weekends free is nice so you can relax or go exploring Gili Air or the other Gili islands, or even Lombok!
