    Over het programma

    Combine your love for the ocean with a professionally recognized qualification through Caribbean Reef Buddy’s unique PADI Divemaster program. Do you want to become a Divemaster and engage in marine conservation? Join our project and achieve both!

    Our Divemaster program is a three-week intensive training course that can be integrated into your planned stay in Carriacou. You’ll train and dive alongside marine conservation volunteers as they participate in their projects, making it an excellent follow-up to your volunteer experience.

    Since 2014, Caribbean Reef Buddy in Carriacou has been dedicated to marine conservation and education. Working closely with our partners, we have achieved remarkable results by raising awareness and changing behaviors to preserve our marine environment.

    During this exciting program, you will delve into the intricacies of our marine world, contribute to conservation projects, and work towards your SSI Divemaster professional scuba rating. This rating is invaluable if you are considering a career in marine science or diving. Over eight weeks, you’ll collaborate with other volunteers, assisting them with their diving education as you advance your own skills.

    Accommodation is provided at our partner guesthouse, including breakfast and dinner, along with as much sunshine as you can handle.

    What Will You Be Doing

    A typical day for our volunteers starts with a quick briefing at the dive base, outlining the day’s plans. Usually, the day unfolds as follows:

    08:30 - Getting Ready: Volunteers are responsible for their own scuba equipment throughout their time in the Caribbean Reef Buddy program. Each volunteer will set up and load their own scuba gear onto the boat, including a spare tank for the second dive. Survey equipment will be organized by the program coordinator.

    09:00 - Going Diving: On each dive, we will have different skills to accomplish, depending on the requirements for becoming a Divemaster scheduled for the day. We’ll head out for two dives, with the surface interval spent moving between dive sites and preparing for the next element.

    12:30 - Back at Base: All equipment is offloaded from the boat, rinsed, and tidied away. Then we break for lunch, typically taking an hour to relax and grab some food.

    14:00 - Afternoon Activities: Afternoons usually involve practicing more skills and theories with instructors.
