I felt so welcomed by Gilang, Tabitha and the rest of the team. They were supportive of the fact I was new to diving, having completed the open water certification days before I started the EcoHero program. It was a great introduction to marine ecology, we did some manta and turtle identification, surveys on fish that indicate reef health, coral restoration and surveys. It was interesting and so wonderful to see what work is being done to combat the effect of the climate crisis. My accommodation was great and I could always go hang out at the dive centre if I needed company. Thank you so much!

Had an amazing time at the reserve! 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 Clémentine

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!

Gilang and the team at the reserve are so amazing. Truly make you feel welcome, and eager to share their passion for the underwater world. Such a beautiful project and I wish I could've stayed there longer! So grateful to have been able to experience this :)

The reserve trip with Worldpackers was incredible! The dive instructor was so patient—I found my confidence fast, even after a shaky start. The Sanctum Dive and the reserve teams were super friendly and even took us exploring on their days off. The rooms were spacious and comfy, and the pool was a great bonus. I loved learning marine ecology—it made every dive more meaningful. Coral conservation and manta ID dives were my favorite. Highly recommend if you want to dive, learn fast, and help the planet!

Excellent and very interesting way to learn what is happening both locally under the water and on a worldwide level. It made me realise the extreme importance of the oceans and its inhabitants from the smallest creatures to the largest ones .. everybody at the dive centre is very relaxed and welcoming .. highly recommended .. days without dives can be slow .. so definitely book the maximum of dives you can .. enjoy & learn !! And .. slow down 😂😂
