There is no need to be a diver or scientist to participate in the Biorock Coral Reef Conservation Internship. However, because this internship is done in conjunction with the PADI Divemaster course,  you will spend a lot of time in the ocean . Therefore, you need to be at least PADI Open Water Course certified. The protection of our nature, environment and underwater biodiversity should be of great importance to you.

Working closely with a PADI Instructor you’ll fine-tune your dive skills, improve upon what you learned in the rescue diver course, increase your knowledge of diving equipment, environment, physics and physiology and learn dive management and supervision abilities. You’ll also complete deep and search and recovery training (if you don’t already have these specialties) and learn how to deliver dive site briefings.

The water temperatures can range from 16 degrees to 30 degrees with cold upwelling’s arriving in June bringing nutrient rich waters from the depths of the Lombok straight. The majority of our dives are drift dives, where we jump off the boat and drift with the current until our dive is complete and the boat crew picks us up wherever we surface. The fast current draws in the large sharks and rays as it is easier for them to breathe. The ocean surrounding the three islands are a MPA (Marine Protected Area) with many research projects and conservation initiative helping to protect the land and sea park.

• If you want to make a career in the marine conservation or diving industry and at the same time to make a difference and have a real impact: this program is perfect for you! Please note there is no need to be an advanced scuba diver in order to apply.

  Moreover, if you are a student at the university than this internship can be approved for credit points.
