Mexico Marine Conservation Expedition
Bask in the sun and dive in the refreshing and clear waters of the Caribbean Sea while teaming up with GVI’s marine conservation team to monitor the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the second largest barrier reef in the world. Here you will also earn yourself a PADI diving certificate, a universally recognized award.
The efforts of our team are coupled with local leading organizations such as Amigos de Sian Ka’an, a conservation-focused Mexican NGO. By collaborating with local partners GVI can ensure to its volunteers that the daily efforts they make will have dramatic and measurable impact on the overall survival of the marine environment.
