Project Introduction
Imagine the thrill of playing with colorful tropical fish in the blue sea. It’s exhilarating just to think about it, right? Join a romantic vacation in Bali with like-minded divers from around the world, as featured on CNN, and help conserve marine ecosystems. From planting coral reefs to surveying fish species and cleaning up underwater debris, the stunning emerald waters will be nurtured through your efforts. Take the lead in revitalizing the endangered coral reefs on a peaceful island in northern Bali with local residents!
* This project is open to individuals, groups, and families.
1. Enjoy a cost-effective vacation! Get scuba certified, volunteer, and find healing!
If you’ve been bogged down by studies or work and are looking for something special and different for your precious vacation, this is for you! Even if you don’t have a scuba certification or aren’t a strong swimmer, you can earn your scuba certification with internationally recognized experts and discover a new underwater world. Additionally, help make Bali more beautiful with just your small contributions, bringing happiness to the locals! * The project is suitable for teenagers with experienced local guides.
2. Enjoy traveling as a local, not just a tourist! Plus, make friends from around the world!
This project includes marine volunteering, village English education, and personal vacation time. One of its greatest advantages is that you can actively participate in village community activities as part of the community, not just as a tourist or volunteer. Create a second home and family in Bali with other volunteers from around the world, instead of a superficial visit to famous landmarks.
3. Swim in the sea during the day, and find true freedom with vibrant clubbing at night!
Feel the fish gently nibbling at your skin and the seaweed swaying with the waves… This is a unique experience only available to scuba divers and snorkelers. Swim in the sea under the warm sun during the day and finish your day enjoying the sunset over the ocean from a pub or club on a cliff in the evening. Find relaxation, self-reflection, and true freedom in Bali, the earthly paradise.

The project planner visited personally. Project Planner's Visit Story & Planning Intent
While staying in Australia for project development, we learned that locals often travel to Bali during their free time. Curious about why Australians would choose Bali over the beautiful Australian landscapes, we decided to visit Bali ourselves. Being there, we were captivated by Bali's unique relaxation and the genuine nature of its people. We were determined to develop a project in Bali and explored the most famous places on the island. We discovered this spot!! It turns out that this organization is so renowned that even CNN, a major American broadcaster, has covered it. People from all over the world, not just Australians, participate in this project to enjoy both fun and vacation. The participants seemed truly relaxed and happy, which was evident in their expressions and actions. We hoped that Korean youth, who often live a busy and rushed life, could also find relaxation and happiness through this project, and this desire led us to plan it.

[Job Recommendation] Scuba Diving Instructor
With advancements in technology, scuba diving equipment has rapidly modernized and become safer, solidifying scuba diving as a global recreational sport. As more people are drawn to it, the interest in leisure sports, especially scuba diving, is increasing. In Korea, surrounded by the sea on three sides, the importance of leisure is growing, leading to a surge in interest in recreational sports. Scuba diving, in particular, is a field with increasing participation as it allows people to experience the beautiful underwater world firsthand.
Scuba diving instructors can work as freelancers or be employed at resorts or dive shops. Instead of striving to become an instructor from the start, it's recommended to first enjoy scuba diving and see if this field suits you. Although scuba diving has been slower to develop in Korea due to perceptions of it being a high-end sport, it has significant future potential. With scuba diving already established as a popular sport worldwide and the number of enthusiasts in Korea increasing rapidly, the potential for growth is promising. <Excerpt from Korean Job Information>
