Expedition Members will need to be qualified to at least PADI Open Water or equivalent at the start of the expedition. If you would like to join the expedition, but have not dived before, GVI can book you onto a PADI Open Water course at a local dive centre before the start of the expedition (at additional cost - see dates and contributions for further information on cost). GVI’s comprehensive training programme will provide you with all the skills necessary for expedition life, such as marine survey techniques, species identification and data collation. You must be able to pass a medical examination to prove you are physically fit to dive and be involved in expedition activities. Everyone must be able to work as part of a team and have a strong interest in wildlife and conservation. Participants must also be very enthusiastic, adventurous, have a good sense of humor and be respectful of the host country’s environment and culture. Having a science background is advantageous but not essential.
