EXPEDITION SUMMARY

This coral reef and whale shark marine volunteer expedition to the Maldives will take you to the beautiful 26 coral atolls that make up the Republic of Maldives. Based on a very luxurious and modern liveaboard yacht, you will help marine biologists study and protect the Maldives' coral reefs and resident whale shark population. All this because the Maldives government identified a need for further research and monitoring work as far back as 1997. Biosphere Expeditions is addressing this need with your help and will train you as a Reef Check EcoDiver. With this qualification you will then gather important reef and whale shark data and you will also be eligible to apply for PADI or NAUI Reef Check Speciality Course certification after this coral reef volunteer expedition. Please note that you need to be a fully qualified diver to take part in this expedition (minimum PADI Open Water or equivalent). Join us on this Maldives marine biology volunteering project!
