Come and join us in the sunny Mediterranean. Become an Eco Dive Volunteer

Any keen diver, or person who would like to learn to dive, who wants to help with marine conservation is welcome to enjoy the subsidised volunteer opportunities and experiences afforded by Eco Dive Volunteering. You only need the PADI Open Water certificate or equivalent dive qualification to take part as an Eco Dive Volunteer and can qualify to dive with us. You don’t need to be a marine biologist to become an Eco Dive Volunteer! Marine biology students gain valuable fieldwork experience by taking part in marine surveys, and may also carry out independent research projects from the volunteer accommodation with  logistical support. Students may be able to secure funding from their Universities to offset volunteer costs. Eco Dive volunteering provides an ideal opportunity for marine biology/gap-year students or anyone keen to take part in marine conservation activities to enjoy lots of scuba diving and gain an insight into the world of marine ecology.

SILMAR ProjectParticipation in Eco Dive Volunteer activities only requires that you are qualified to Open Water scuba diver or equivalent. New to SCUBA? No problem! You can learn to dive and gain the internationally recognised PADI Open Water certificate with Kenna Eco Diving, and then receive practical training in marine research techniques in order to assist with the collection of data on important Mediterranean coastal ecosystems.

This is Ariadna - relaxing on the beach following a conservation dive in May 09. She is our Catalan contact for the SILMAR Project which is mapping coastal habitats and key species around the whole Iberian peninsular! We are voluntary coordinators for the L’Escala SILMAR Project research area in addition to carrying out our own marine conservation work.
