Good to Know

Frequently asked

Do I need a diving certification?

For in-water restoration and survey roles, an open-water certification (or higher) is needed. But many roles β€” education, media, logistics, fundraising β€” don't require diving at all.

Where are you based?

Our field base is at Ngwe Saung Beach, Pathein Township, Ayeyarwady Region, Myanmar. Most volunteering happens on and around the local reefs.

Is there a minimum time commitment?

It varies by role and season. Tell us your availability in the form and we'll match you to something that fits β€” from short visits to longer placements.

Is volunteering paid?

Roles are voluntary. As a non-profit we focus resources on conservation, but we'll be clear about what's provided and what to arrange yourself.
