Group community action program

We regularly host groups. We provide schools, youth groups and university groups with community service programmes. We have also hosted indigenous group leaders in training programmes.

We work with you to customise programs to provide:

  • community service hours for school groups, with our reef rehabilitation work and building facilities for Les village
  • education in marine and conservation, learning to scuba and free dive
  • cultural immersion programs, living in a simple village amongst villagers, exchanging skills with the locals such as dancing, singing, cooking, and language.
