This experience was a fantastic and truly life-changing trip. From the moment I arrived I felt at home and made many friends. Tom and Thais were incredible leaders, creating a great culture of fun, learning and bonding. By the end of the trip it felt like this group was truly a family. The local hosts in at the reserve are incredible too. Each brings their own personality and passion to conservation. I came away truly inspired after getting to know these amazing individuals who are so committed to protecting and improving the coral reef there. Shoutout to Raihan, Gilang and Cleo (and others!)

This was such an incredible experience! From the dives to the classroom sessions and the fantastic team looking after us, this really was an Epic Trip!! Tom was a great host, so knowledgeable and friendly. Thais was so helpful and made us all feel so comfortable, and the reserve team were amazing, teaching us so much about the fish, turtles, mantas and corals. I truly had the best time, and it has definitely inspired me to get more involved with conservation projects!

This was an unbelievable experience. the reserve team love their work and it shows up in their contagious passion for conservation. Education is top notch (both the scuba diving certification and marine conservation) and dives are mind blowing. I will be diving a lot more after this amazing trip. Thanks to Tom, Thais, Gilung, Cleo, Raihan, Wildang and all the others who helped make this trip amazing.

Overall a positive experience. The hosts were friendly and very helpful- they were able to get me a new room whenI was uncomfortable in mine. They are knowledgable and truly care about the cause. One of my only complaints is that they seemed to forget that a lot of us were complete beginners in diving after the initial course- we obviously couldn't keep pace with more experienced divers. A lot of days were not run as they were supposed to be, with plans changing frequently, but such is to be expected when dealing with the ocean, and they always made sure we got the full experience and more!

This experience was just incredible. I met awesome people who I really want to stay in touch with!
We had so much fun while learning about conservation and having the best experiences. There was always something interesting to do while making sure everyone was comfortable. Every one of us had different needs that were met all the time. I would do it all over again😊😊.
I miss it so much already and just wish I could turn back the time.

This was one of the greatest experiences of my life. The team was so welcoming and friendly, always happy to help while also having fun spending time with us and joking around. Really I could not have been more comfortable with the team, overall just amazing people. I always felt safe and comfortable while also getting to see and learn about the most amazing ocean animals and habitats and learning and becoming more aware of the importance of conserving and respecting the ocean. Just overall a really positive and fun experinece that I can only recommend :)

I had the most magical and amazing experience at the reserve. From our first day the team at the reserve were so welcoming and accommodating and really made us all feel at home. The marine education lessons we got were fantastic, and I learned so much from my experience. I struggled with anxiety at the beginning of the diving, and the team went above and beyond to help me feel comfortable and I felt so supported and cared for. I would recommend the reserve to everyone and I would absolutely love to go back :)

This was such an amazing experience and I am so grateful that I got the chance to learn and work with all these amazing and inspiring people. From the first minute on everyone was so nice and welcoming and I instantly felt safe and comfortable. Even though I just learned diving I was able to not only be part of all the cool and interesting dives like manta, fish and turtle IDing and the coral restoration dives, but also was allowed and encouraged to try it myself and actually help. Not only the time under water was amazing also the theorie classes where fun and interesting. I learend so much.
