Em geral, uma experiência positiva. Os anfitriões foram simpáticos e muito prestativos—eles conseguiram me arranjar um quarto novo quando eu estava desconfortável no meu. Eles são conhecedores e realmente se importam com a causa. Uma das minhas únicas queixas é que pareciam esquecer que muitos de nós éramos iniciantes completos em mergulho após o curso inicial—obviamente não conseguíamos acompanhar mergulhadores mais experientes. Muitos dias não foram conduzidos como deveriam, com planos mudando com frequência, mas isso é de se esperar ao lidar com o oceano, e eles sempre tomaram cuidado para que tivéssemos a experiência completa e mais!

Esta foi uma das maiores experiências da minha vida. A equipe foi tão receptiva e amigável, sempre disposta a ajudar, enquanto também se divertiam passando tempo conosco e brincando. Realmente eu não poderia ter me sentido mais à vontade com a equipe; no geral, são pessoas incríveis. Sempre me senti seguro e à vontade, ao mesmo tempo em que pude ver e aprender sobre os animais marinhos e habitats mais incríveis, aprendendo e me tornando mais consciente da importância de conservar e respeitar o oceano. No geral, uma experiência realmente positiva e divertida que só posso recomendar :)

Tive a experiência mais mágica e incrível na reserva. Desde o nosso primeiro dia, a equipe da reserva foi tão acolhedora e prestativa e realmente nos fez sentir em casa. As lições de educação marinha que recebemos foram fantásticas, e aprendi muito com minha experiência. Lutei com ansiedade no início do mergulho, e a equipe foi além do esperado para me ajudar a me sentir à vontade e eu me senti muito apoiado e cuidado. Eu recomendaria a reserva a todos e eu adoraria muito voltar :)

Esta foi uma experiência incrível e estou muito grato por ter tido a chance de aprender e trabalhar com todas essas pessoas incríveis e inspiradoras. Desde o primeiro minuto, todos foram tão gentis e receptivos e eu me senti seguro e à vontade instantaneamente. Mesmo que eu tenha acabado de aprender a mergulhar, consegui não apenas fazer parte de todas as mergulhadas legais e interessantes, como a identificação de mantas, peixes e tartarugas e as imersões de restauração de recifes de corais, mas também fui autorizado e incentivado a tentar por conta própria e realmente ajudar. Não apenas o tempo debaixo d'água foi incrível, mas as aulas teóricas também foram divertidas e interessantes. Aprendi muito.

Discover the enchanting wonders of Nusa Penida, Bali's hidden gem! With its pristine beaches, breathtaking cliff views, and crystal clear turquoise waters teeming with vibrant marine life, it's a paradise for nature and marine enthusiasts. Dive into diverse coastal and marine ecosystems home to majestic manta rays, turtles, healthy coral reefs, and reef sharks. Embrace the local culture and be open-minded to different ways of living, ensuring a respectful and enriching journey.
Life on land has a direct impact on sea life and, by raising awareness and educating people on how our daily actions affect it, we can improve Life Below Water conditions. As a traveler, you’ll contribute to this cause by doing coral restoration, trash management, running events with local schools to educate local students in coral sorting, planting and roving projects.
Our program is specifically designed to educate about the ocean ecosystem and methods for minimizing our impact on it. We focus on initiatives such as coral rehabilitation, manta identification, net removal, plastic removal, and promoting social awareness of ocean-friendly practices. Additionally, we address strategies for mitigating existing damage to the ocean.
Our projects operate under proven and sanctioned scientific methodology, in collaboration with organizations such as the Coral Triangle Center, Scuba Schools International, and Gili Shark Conservation. We promote open and critical thinking among travelers, with our main goal being to raise awareness and take action on issues affecting the underwater ecosystem and its interactions with life on land.
Our programs for preserving and recovering underwater ecosystems primarily focus on activities originating from land: we educate people about the importance of avoiding over-extraction of resources from the ocean and protecting vulnerable species. This includes preventing trash from entering the ocean and implementing effective trash management practices such as recycling. Additionally, having an incinerator with a catalytic converter helps ensure responsible waste disposal, ultimately contributing to the health of the reef.
