The majority of volunteers stay between 6 and 12 weeks, and we recommend a minimum of 4-6 weeks to really get the most out of your experience. The scuba diving and science training normally takes between 2-3 weeks so it is not until the 4th week that you really get your teeth into the survey diving and community work. However we understand that not everyone can come for this amount of time due to work commitments or other. So we have devised a shorter program for those who are already qualified divers and only have 2-3 weeks available, though these places on the project are limited, so make sure you book early. Volunteers can also extend their stay while on the project from week to week, and the longer you stay the cheaper it becomes.
