We offer a coral restoration internship program to train you become a coral gardener. We are in the midst of a climate emergency that threatens to drive our coral reefs and inhabitants into extinction in our lifetimes. Join us. It is still not too late. Together we can save our corals.
Our new coral propagation/restoration practitioners internship program will launch on August 15th this year to run every month except in April and May. There will be a single entry date on the 15th of each month. The program is restricted to 8 participants at any one time. Participation is open to anyone aged 16 to 70 who is in good health but you need to be a certified SCUBA diver to fully participate. If you are not certified yet, you have to arrive at least one week ahead of the program’s start date to get certified (at your own cost but we get great discounts from our very professional PADI and SSI partner Mafia Island Diving). Once SCUBA certified, you need to commit to a minimum of 20 days and a maximum of 88 days.
The cost will be approximately $540 per week: $82.50 per day for 20 days going down to $72.50 per day for 88 days. This includes accommodation, meals, taxes, levies, ground transport and boat transport during the course, marine park fees and SCUBA diving costs (tank and weights provided) but does not include the cost of SCUBA certification nor the hire of SCUBA gear, transport to and from Mafia Island and a Tanzanian visa.
