Responsibilities & Ideal Background
Expect a busy schedule from day one, typically diving at least twice a day and assisting with other conservation tasks.
A good fit is a collaborative team player in good physical health, ready to get hands-on with diving and connect with other volunteers.

Human Sciences finalist at University of Oxford, with a particular interest in health promotion and creation.
Away from my studies, I am a keen triathlete, and love reading, tennis and cooking!
Hello, I am Maisie! I am a third-year Classics student at Oxford. I like to spend my time (when I don't have work due) cooking and baking cakes for my family or making collages out of old magazines. My current obsession is films by Pedro Almodóvar and Ethio-jazz.
Hi, I'm Holly! I'm really interested in Psychology, Linguistics, social action, and policy. In my free time, I love to dance, play guitar, learn languages, and travel.
I completed my Laidlaw research project last summer, on UK policy around extra-curricular activities. This summer, I completed my LiA in Mexico, designing a social media campaign for an NGO supporting survivors of gender-based violence.
Would love to chat more if you have any questions!
