Probably one of the best volunteer positions I have had. Ran is a super nice and ambitious guy with lots of knowledge about the life in the ocean. I learned so much about sea and got even more fascinated with every the hostel. Everyone who was part of the team there impressed and inspired me to keep doing sth in that area. I enjoyed the time with the locals and felt like a second home. Missing the deep talks next to the typhoons already. I definitely plan on coming back!!

Beautiful experience! I felt part of the hostel Family as soon as I arrived, I had the opportunity of really getting to know the local culture and loved every part of it. The environmental work they make is awesome, I learned a lot about marine life and taking care of the sea. I'm sure I will go back to spent sone more time with this amazing group

I had such an amazing time at the hostel! The whole the hostel team is made up of the kindest people, and I've really grown fond of them. From the very first moment, I felt super welcomed and comfortable. I'm so happy to have been part of this marine conservation project. The work the hostel team does is incredible, and I'm glad I got to contribute my little grain of sand. If you're someone who loves learning new things and being in the water all the time, this is definitely the place for you. Can't wait to come back! :)

From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed. Volunteering for a marine conservation project, fulfilled a personal dream and became part of something extraordinary. Day by day we dove into the challenge to protect our oceans, exploring the underwater world, and educating others on how precious our ocean is. Sharing the beauty of this region has been an experience as vast and deep as the ocean itself. I learned heaps more about the ocean, oversaw coral nurseries, cleaned up the ocean of trash, all with an awesome team and other international volunteers that were present. AMAZING PROJECT๐Ÿ’œ

I had an amazing time at the hostel Ecodive, so much so that I've already committed to coming back as soon as possible. I could not possibly recommend this experience more! I felt comfortable and cared for from day 1 not only by the team but by the people of Legazpi. I was lucky enough to learn from passionate people and assist in making an impact in a field I truly love while being included wholeheartedly in filipino culture. If you are considering volunteering with the hostel Ecodive, do it! It's an opportunity to grow, give back, have fun and contribute to something truly worthwhile.
