Cambodia's marine environment suffers from a lack of regulation and awareness - particularly surrounding the fishing industry.  This has led to overfishing and destructive fishing methods, causing damage to the marine environment.

Our project in the Koh S'dach archipelago aims to promote good fishing practices and environmental education. It is also hoped that the data can be used to encourage local authorities to declare the area as a protected area.

As part of your initial training, volunteers will also be trained as a PADI Open Water Diver - as a certified diver you will then be able to fully participate in the underwater surveys and conservation dives. If you are already a certified diver, we can provide you with your PADI Advance Open Water Diver training.

As well as participating in dives, volunteers also take part in community-based projects. This includes beach cleans, working with local fishermen, and providing educational outreach at the local school.

We also have Diving & Marine Conservation projects in Thailand and Belize!
