Details on arrival
Our dynamic program operates on an eight-week rolling schedule, allowing all participants to engage with every facet of our Carriacou-based project workstreams. During the first week, you'll receive comprehensive dive training, advancing you to the level of Advanced Adventure Diver. In the fifth week, we'll equip you with vital skills in emergency first aid and rescue techniques. If you're already certified as an Advanced Adventure or Advanced Open Water diver, feel free to join us at any juncture throughout the program. Stay for as long as you can support us, and together we'll make waves of positive change in the realm of marine conservation.
Our program resumes its voyage on May 5th, 2025, marked by our inaugural 'CRB Training Week.' As summer unfolds, we'll echo this diver training week every four weeks, creating a rhythm of learning and growth. Presented below is our seasonal schedule, though do note that it might experience alterations. For those new to diving or possessing expertise below the Advanced level, timely arrival for the CRB Training Week is essential. Should questions arise regarding scheduling and arrival details, don't hesitate to reach out to us. We're here to ensure your journey with us is seamless and remarkable.
