    What others say:

    I got to experience everything that a person seeks in paradise. I got to stand on the top of a tropical mountain overlooking the beautiful Pacific Ocean on several occasions and on several different islands. I got to taste new foods that I have become obsessed with. I got to dive within 8 feet of hammerhead sharks, I got to experience nights out with my new friends and drink the local beers, and go dancing. I even got the once in a life time opportunity to work with Johnny Singh, the marine biologist, of the Jean Michelle Cousteau Resort, whom I hold in the highest regard...

    Diving in Fiji offers the largest variety of fish and coral found anywhere in the world with a multitude of small reef dwellers and large ocean pelagic, hammer head sharks, turtles, dolphins, whales, swim through and caverns , drop offs, pinnacles and pristine waters.

    Get your diving qualifcations and help protect the reefs!

    You will gain PADI qualifications from Open water (for beginners) to Divemaster (if you are already experienced) and you will dive, dive ,dive. But it is not all about the diving.
    It is also about having an awesome time with the rest of your group living the simple life in a village, learning about marine conservation, participating in activities that make a real difference, enjoying the balmy days and fun filled nights and getting to know the friendliest people in the world.

    2 Unforgettable Experiences

    The Fiji dive conservation and culture programme is split into two unforgettable experiences, above and below the crystal clear waters. Over the course of 3 or 6 weeks, you will live in a stunning environment, and kick back with the locals enjoying "Fiji time" on some of the best beaches in the world. You will learn to dive (or further your diving skills to advanced rescue or even Divemaster) in some of the worlds best dive locations, and have a laugh with the locals, and carry out vital marine conservation work. Why can´t everything in life be this good?

    The Culture Part

    Fijians are an exotic blend of Melanesian, Polynesian, Indian, Chinese, Micronesian with a tinge of European influence. A pretty mixed bag you could say, but their traditions, are strong and incredible to experience. Fiji has over 300 islands many are not inhabited, all are worth exploring.

    Lots Of Cultural Experiences To Remember

    During your stay you will be introduced into a range of cultural experiences, staying with a host family at Waivunia village and Nagigi village you will have plenty of opportunities to become involved in traditional activities like kava drinking, singing and dancing, climbing coconut palms, learning about local food and cooking. Trying the local boiled Beka (bat) is entirely optional.

    Learn the Haka!

    One of the highlights for the volunteers on the Fiji Culture and diving programme is attending a traditional Sevusevu Ceremony, and being adopted by the village and learning the Haka!

    The Marine Conservation Project

    The Marine Conservation project is devoted to the study of soft corals in a Marine protected area. These are areas that have been effected by changing weather patterns and modern economic pressures, which combined have been damaging these natural resources. Your role will be mainly monitoring, data collection and receiving education about conservation efforts.

    Help The Reefs & Do Your Part!

    With assistance provided by volunteers on this programme,the marine park is beginning to flourish once more. Your efforts will be monitored and checked a dedicated marine biologist and expert at the the Jean Michelle Cousteau marine resort. The marine conservation data that you will collate  is then included in the reports prepared by the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network (GCRMN).

    Beach Lovers Paradise!

    Fiji has some of the worlds best beaches, all the more reason to spend some time here!
