This Bali-based non-profit organization is dedicated to the ecological restoration of coral reefs across Bali and other regions of Indonesia—areas increasingly vulnerable to climate change, overfishing, and marine pollution. Aligned with global conservation efforts such as the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration and international coral resilience strategies, the organization implements science-based, community-driven interventions to rehabilitate degraded reef ecosystems.

Volunteers are integrated into a trained local dive team responsible for monitoring coral health, cleaning reef structures, and assisting with coral transplantation. For participants without prior dive certification, an Open Water SCUBA course is required and completed during the first week of the program. Once certified, volunteers actively contribute to in-water restoration activities and assist with supplementary tasks such as predator control, data entry, educational outreach, and report writing.

Daily responsibilities are divided between underwater activities at the coral nursery and engagement with the local coastal community. Schedules may vary based on weather, tide conditions, and dive safety protocols. It is important to note that diving is not conducted during unsafe sea conditions, and alternative conservation tasks will be assigned.

Recommended dive period for novice divers: October to December (calm sea conditions and optimal visibility).

Program benefits:

• Academic Credit Support
  We provide formal documentation and coordination to assist with university credit transfer, practicum validation, or reflective learning assignments tied to your academic institution’s requirements.

• Restore Coral Reefs & Marine Biodiversity
  Support hands-on efforts to clean reef structures, attach new coral fragments, and protect reefs from natural predators like Crown of Thorns and Drupella snails—helping regenerate vital marine ecosystems in Bali.

• Gain Dive & Conservation Skills
  Non-divers receive Open Water SCUBA certification in the first week. Volunteers then join the coral restoration team, learning practical underwater monitoring and coral gardening techniques essential for marine conservation careers.

• Contribute to Science & Environmental Education
  Assist with data collection, reporting, and article writing to support the project’s research goals. Educate visitors and contribute to environmental awareness through public outreach and local school engagement.

• Support Local Communities
  Teach English, computer literacy, or other skills to local youth and NGO staff—bridging knowledge gaps and strengthening the capacity of grassroots conservation efforts.

• Build Real-World Impact & Global Awareness
  With a 5-day-a-week commitment, volunteers become part of a locally driven solution to a global issue—gaining leadership, cross-cultural communication, and sustainability experience in the field.
