The Experience

We are located in the coastal Cambodia township of Sihanoukville, with a two-pronged approach. In the water, we protect our local reefs, out of the water, we create awareness among both the local people of Cambodia and across national borders. Our goal is to create a long-term coral propagation nursery as well as an information center that informs people of sustainable marine practices.

I had the best time joining this ocean conservation project! James and Sin made me feel like family—their passion for marine conservation is truly inspiring. They were always open to questions and even welcomed suggestions. Across 9 dives, I helped lay the foundation for new coral growth, transplanted coral and cleaned up trash. Seeing our efforts take shape was so rewarding! Even when the weather didn't cooperate, we had a great time playing cards, enjoying amazing food, and sharing great conversations. Thank you, James and Sin, for this unforgettable experience!

Had an absolute blast spending a week here. James and sin are such lovely people, they taught us loads of info about corals and how to safely and effectively conserve them, offered us delicious food everyday, gave us a comfy place to sleep, and were happy to share the culture with us. I left here feeling satisfied, educated, and wanting to go back already!

We had a great time volunteering with ocean conservation the school! James and Sin were such lovely hosts and made us feel so at home and welcomed!! We did 10 dives all focused on ocean conservation! Our first few days we had a great time learning, experiencing, and taking part in transplanting the coral reef to a new location to avoid the damage and disease that was taking over. The last few days we worked on cleaning up trash and removing a large fishing net from the reef!! It was so much fun. We learned loads and had such a great time! Thank you to Sin and James!!!
