What to expect
Together with a marine biologist guide, you will discover an underwater biome of your group's choice and learn interesting facts about the flora and fauna that inhabit it.
This day program, consisting of 2 dives (for certified divers only), that will be led by one of our in-house, trained Marine Biologists, will be an eye-opening and educational experience. The program will be tailor-made to fit your diving level, experience, and interests.
In a small group of maximum 4 divers, you will become a citizen scientist, collecting important data that will help to educate others, and protect our environment. The briefings will contain fascinating information, which you will then put into practice during the dives.
At the end of the day, back at our 5* PADI Diving School and Marine Field Station, you will debrief your dives, talk about what you experienced and learned, as well as look at your samples under a microscope to get an even better look at the fascinating life of the Mediterranean Sea.
This day will be one to remember! An unforgettable day during which you took action to educate yourself and at the same time contributed to valuable Marine Biology projects.
