Hi, when I was doing my DMT in Lembongan I got in touch with some marine biologists who were also in touch with a marine conservation group called Barefoot. They needed dive instructors and with this in mind I recently did my IDC. Sounds like a good idea to get your certifications in and more importantly experience while working for a good cause. Then I wondered about other projects like this, but many of them seemed very commercial. They talk about "our competitors" as if they are not all working for the same cause.
So what do I have to look for for a good marine conservation project? How do I know it is not some commercial business? Where would I find some good ones that are looking for instructors, not just divers?
Sorry if this is not the right group, doesn't seem to fit in any group :/
