It is required that you bring your own mask and snorkel that is correctly fitted and that you’ve previously practised wearing (in a pool or open-water setting). We provide the fins! We also suggest that you bring a rash guard for extra protection against the sun while on the snorkel surveys.

No worries! We provide all necessary training so you can head out into the field and feel more confident after every survey you conduct. To begin with, it may be daunting trying to understand species and the methods, but in no time, you’ll be reciting them before checking the guides and species key.

There will be 4 people per room. In this room, there is a bathroom, a small kitchen/ livingroom and a balcony. Do keep in mind, while we avoid it, the rooms can be mixed gender.

During the day you will have a morning shift and a late afternoon-evening shift. Some days, during the afternoons, you will have a ~2-hour data entry and/or photo classification shift. While you’re not shifted, you will have time to explore and relax as you please. You will also have two scheduled days off per week.

Yes, they are! Our base in Skala is a 20-minute walk to all to shops, restaurants, and the beach. Skala is a vibrant town and comes to life in the summer months, meaning you have a large choice of places to shop and eat!
