We're divers. What does the sea do for us? So much, of course (adventure, pleasure, well-being, quality of life) but increasingly the question is not what the sea can do for us, but what we can do for the sea? How can we pay back some of its generosity?
The answer to this is remarkably easy. By eco-diving, which is what I did this summer with Kenna Eco-diving in L'Escala on Spain's Costa Brava. Free diving in return for the most rewarding work I've done for a long time, in or out of the water. From laying out transects to counting black and brown urchins, from identifying and mapping precious and false coral to recovering trash from the sea bed - I learned more about the marine environment in one week in August than in my previous four years' of diving.
If you truly care about the sea, eco-diving with Kenna under the skilled guidance of Marine Research Coordinator Gaynor Rosier is one way of turning that care into meaningful action. Robin Walker

Ten Reasons to Join in Marine Conservation Research as a Volunteer Eco Diver 
co Dive volunteering provides an ideal opportunity for marine biology, gap-year students or anyone keen to take part in marine conservation activities to enjoy free warm water scuba diving whilst gaining an insight into the world of marine ecology. Mediterranean biodiversity is high along the Montgri coast of the Costa Brava, due to the rocky coastline that has deterred tourist development and the presence of Posidonia oceanica seagrass beds, an essential feeding and breeding habitat that has already disappeared from many Eastern and Southern Mediterranean countries due to poor coastal zone management.
