All of the funding goes to the diving costs, boat rent, petrol fees, marine scientist fees, ocean structure, and housing. Rest assured we are open to the cost structure in all programs. We are making sure the contribution will always be affordable for everybody who want to support this noble cause to our beautiful ocean and community.

We do ocean activities and classroom on working days
There is no experience needed except Open Water license, we will teach everything
We have 4 team members to run this program

Gilang completed his marine biology degree in 2016 and previously worked in Nusa Penida as a divemaster. He has a lot of diving experience and is very passionate about conservation. He also previously worked on an artificial coral reef project in Thousand Island, Jakarta where he monitored the artificial reef with biorock method. We treat everybody equal and educate in the best manner possible.

Had an amazing time at Eco Hero! From the first day everyone was very welcoming and very kind. I have learned so much about marine species, data collecting, and the importance of marine conservation and environmental awareness on land. Its a great beginner friendly way to grow your knowledge and interest. Also I became a more skilled diver and made a lot of new international and local friends :)

My experience with Ecohero was truly the experience of a lifetime for me.
I am very honored and grateful to have been part of a marine ecosystems research team and to have learn from such amazing people and professionals.
You’ll collect some data underwater, analyse and work on it, take care of corals, have classes about topics you’ll work on and also enjoyy time on the island!
This experience was truly eye opening for me in many ways, so thank you ecohero for your work, for sharing that it is possible to do something for our precious ocean and how it’s important to learn! tyyy

I arrived not really knowing what to expect, straight away we started the program, 2 dives per day (except rest days) alongside classroom sessions for briefings and education were a great combination. We had a great group, helping with the Coral Triangle Centre coral restoration, every activity felt genuinely impactful and the hosts Gilang and Tabitha were brilliant at making us feel at home here. I’d recommend those that want to complete the program to have prior dive experience (at least a discover scuba session) as some of the activities are relatively technical so that you enjoy it most!
