Join a Marine Expedition, Coral Cay Conservation
You will help survey coral reefs in remote tropical locations, making for an exclusive and worthwhile experience that you will never forget.
CCC marine expeditions are for those of you interested in diving, whether you have had no diving experience or you are a fully trained diver. You will gain familiarity with the untainted coral reef habitats which, like many in the world, are threatened ecosystems. Your CCC Skills Development training will teach you how to survey in groups and recognise an array of important species. From learning new skills through to meeting new people, there is no doubt that you will come away with many memories that are uniquely individual…
Who knows what marine species you will encounter when diving in the tropical waters of the world…
