I loved the beach clean up on a nearby island. Really great, especially for younger divers. (more)Georgina Stevens
The most memorable part of the holiday was diving in a downpour. It wasn't scary, just interesting. (more)Brian Benner
All of it was pretty amazing. I didn't realize how small the island was and I loved it. Being able to dive 3 times a day and get to know the local marine life, while
learning about it was my favourite. (more)Irina Tyshkevich
From
£2,090

Fantastic trip with many memorable moments - swimming with the whale sharks was amazing and swimming with 2 manta rays and seeing their courtship ritual on the final day was magical.
(more)Sandra Bateman
AMAZING ... we took a 13 and 17 year old with us who got so much out of this ... they are both fascinated by cetaceans and were competent swimmers /
snorkellers. (more)Rachel Calvert
From
£845

Fantastic! One of the best conservation holidays I have been on - a very fun, interesting and rewarding experience. A lot of people who go to the project short
term end up staying permanently, and it's easy to see why! (more)Eve Nelson
It was an excellent experience, a chance to visit a beautiful location, meet interesting people, improve my diving and enjoy myself. (more)Stephen Orwin
From
US $3,460

Memorable parts?
1. Snorkeling with the whale sharks.
2. Good diving instruction to next level of qualification.
3. Chance to do conservation surveys as something more than that which you
usually do on a regular dive holiday.
4. chance to dive in Caribbean at dive sites that are not crowded, never were
there other dive boats at the sites we dived, thus only 4 to 8 divers at the
site from the boat.
Tips?
1. To the extent your baggage allowance allows it, take items identified
including... (more)Simon Timms
From
£1,732
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
Swimming with the megafauna (whale sharks and manta)
Tips?
Practice snorkelling beforehand if you're not used to it, but if you are, then you'll be fine.
If seasick in the slightest, bring the necessary medicine; you don't want to waste boat time being ill.
If sensitive to the sun, be prepared to put on lots of sunscreen frequently, and take seriously covering up against the sun.
Local benefits?
I think the program does support the local island economy.... (more)Nuraini Arsad
From
£605
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
Seeing a blue whale for the first time in my life
Tips?
Bring warm clothes for sea even in May it is quite chilly. Sea sickness pills: even if you are not sensitive some rough day at sea it may bring extra comfort. I did not bring but it is easy and cheap to buy at a pharmacy in Horta.
Local benefits?
I hope it will help for the conservation and understanding better local populations of whales
Overall rating?
This was a great experience, Tiago and... (more)Sylvain Masse

From
US $1,299
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
The diving, the hostel and the volunteers. We went diving every day from Tuesday to Friday. The diving instructors were super nice, made us feel very comfortable and were great teachers. The hostel was in a good state and served really nice food. On top of everything the other volunteers at the hostel were great and it was easy to get to know people (and that's usually not at all easy for me) because most of us were there with the same motive - to volunteer on one of the...

From
US $1,330

Feeling that you are contributing to the sea environment. Waking up to the beautiful sunrise and seeing the lovely sunset. Living on a tiny island for a short time.
(more)Lynda Hughes
The best diving holiday I did so far and it will be hard to beat. I learned so much about fish identification and substrates and this makes diving much more enjoyable. (more)Ulrike Kachel
The entire trip was a blast! Multiple dives per day without another diver in sight, unspoiled beauty of the amazing reef, incredible food, etc. etc. Everything about this trip was memorable and exciting! (more)Eric Strobel

The most memorable moment was when we had the opportunity to see a monk seal quietly sleeping on a sandy beach, just in front of us, on the first day of our vacation!
(more)Lara Maistrello
I had a fantastic holiday. Kimon was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide and ensured that even on days when the weather meant we couldn't go on the boat
to look for dolphins other activities were arranged. The island has a lovely welcoming feel to it and the people both at MOm and on the island in general are
very friendly and keen to make sure you have a good time. (more)Sarah Bigby
The most memorable parts of the holiday were being in the sea and watching marvellous places, the sea dolphin view was amazing. (more)Serena Catalano

The whole trip was simply amazing!...Firstly the camp is set in the most
beautiful place, and on a good night the stars are unbelievable. I've never
seen so many! Must have seen at least 5 shooting stars a night as well as the
cosmos! (more)Daniel Williams
From

Memorable parts?
The diving on Sail Rock, probably one of the best dive sites in the Gulf of
Thailand
Tips?
This is a small village with basic amenities so be prepared to take it easy and
relax as there is a lot of down time where nothing is happening. If you get bored
easily then make sure you have brought things to occupy your time or better still
make an effort to get out and about the island.
Local benefits?
Not really to the extent that I would have liked, sure spending... (more)Stan Batchelor
