Are you looking for an adventure volunteer travel experience? Deep Blue offers a unique opportunity to volunteer and enjoy a diving vacation simultaneously! Whether you're a diver or not, we've got you covered! We offer PADI dive qualifications from beginner to Divemaster, and everything in between.

After the morning dive, volunteers can opt for a second dive, relax on the beach, or grab a bite to eat. Then we head back to camp to freshen up and enter the collected data into the database.

Diving at the some of the best coral reefs in the world
by: Leander Hessner - DenmarkProgram: Marine Conservation & Diving in South AfricaI spent a month at deep blue. It was a wonderfull time, and the diving was exeptional! The first days were spent learning to dive, and after that it was all about enjoying every single dive and collecting photos for the nudibranch/turtle database. After the dives we would write the species we found into the database, and usually have a lecture about the different aspects of marine biology that are relevant to the sodwana bay area. Other than that, we went out once in a while to eat at some of t...
Craziest life changing experience!
by: Lucas de la Serre - FranceProgram: Marine Conservation & Diving in South AfricaI never thought a volunteering program can change my life... When we started diving after a few days of classroom and pool sessions I felt like a free man. I have never seen so many colors and life underwater. The ride to the beach everyday felt like a dream through the forest. After dives we slowly moved to camp and do lectures. I thought lectures will be like in collage but it was so chilled it is more talking between each other and gathering information than listening to someone just talking....
