Business Volunteering in Seychelles

Investigate sea turtles, whale sharks, coral reefs, and other species of marine wildlife in this volunteer program that is almost entirely underwater in Seychelles! Participants will study marine populations in order to contribute to conservation projects, documenting and collecting data on fish, coral, and other animals. This project will supply information to the local government and involves working towards environmental health and sustainability. Volunteers on this program will gain an understanding of identification tactics used to classify the tropical coral and fish they will encounter. Participants take the courses for PADI Advanced and PADI Coral Reef Research Diver and can also be involved in other courses on diving if they wish. Participants will obtain a detailed understanding of surveying a marine environment. They will focus on researching fish or coral.

Travel to a country known for its equatorial climate and enter a year-round summer in Seychelles. Spend your days diving in the supreme clear waters of Mahe visiting different dive sites and islands. On your expeditions, you could see an array of marine life, such as dolphins, manta rays, octopus, whale sharks, varying fish species, coral reefs, and the endangered hawksbill and green sea turtles. In collaboration with local partners and GVI staff, you’ll collect data, develop marine and environmental education programs, and survey for critical local governmental marine efforts. This is an opportunity to contribute to sustainable conservation efforts and level up your marine conservation knowledge and practical skills. GVI works alongside local partner organizations to ensure the successful outcome and longevity of all our programs. Use weekend trips to visit other islands and cities, explore botanical gardens and add recreational diving to your list. Start to better understand local traditional culture and meet fellow volunteers with varying national backgrounds.
