Marine Conservation and PADI Certification in Panama

This marine conservation project invites volunteers to join a dedicated team protecting coral reefs and various marine species native to the rich Caribbean coast. This unique opportunity allows you to take part in hands-on conservation efforts while fostering awareness around sustainable practices to protect these delicate ecosystems. As a volunteer, you’ll engage in diverse activities, from underwater coral monitoring to reef cleanups and fun dives.

The project offers invaluable learning experiences under the guidance of conservationists, giving you practical skills and insight into the ecological challenges of marine habitats. Ideal for those passionate about marine life, ecology, and environmental protection, this volunteer opportunity allows you to immerse yourself in both the beauty and critical needs of Panama’s coastlines.

Note: If you do not already have your PADI Open Water Dive certification, you will gain your certification as a part of an integrated course during the first few days of the project for an extra fee.

This project was founded by two passionate ocean lovers with the vision of actively protecting vulnerable coastal and marine ecosystems. Initially sparked by a shared commitment to environmental conservation, they established the organization to empower individuals from diverse backgrounds to contribute directly to citizen science and habitat preservation efforts.

Their initiatives engage volunteers in hands-on projects, including wildlife monitoring and data collection, all aimed at fostering lasting positive impacts on local species and ecosystems. This organization combines a citizen science approach with a strong focus on education, and training participants in ecological principles and conservation methodologies. Their work prioritizes collaboration with local communities, emphasizing sustainable practices and promoting long-term ecological health in the regions they serve.
