Introduction

Immerse yourself in the beauty of the Atlantic Ocean while making a meaningful contribution to its conservation. Our Marine Conservation program offers a unique opportunity for ocean lovers to participate in various initiatives aimed at protecting the marine ecosystem along the South Coast of Portugal.

Working in collaboration with a diving school that prioritizes environmental preservation, volunteers engage in underwater clean-up efforts to remove trash from the sea floor.

No prior diving experience is necessary to join the program. We offer certifications and courses tailored to different skill levels, from beginners to advanced divers. Under the supervision of experienced divers, volunteers undergo thorough training in marine conservation techniques.

Our shared goal is clear: to safeguard our oceans and pave the way for a brighter future. Join us in our mission to clean and protect the ocean, one dive at a time.
