4D Great Barrier Reef Orpheus Island Research Station Coral Survey Programme, August 04-07, 2012

This is a rare opportunity to stay and dive off Orpheus Island Research Station, a marine research facility run by James Cook University in a marine sancturary park on the Great Barrier Reef.

Reef Check Australia is an award-winning marine conservation charity responding to the severe threats facing Australia’s beautiful coral reefs because there is hope if we take action now! The information that Reef Check Australia’s volunteer divers collect is used by community groups, governments, universities and businesses to design and implement ecologically sound and economically sustainable coral reef management. In addition, Reef Check Australia’s projects stimulate local action to protect and rehabilitate remaining reefs.

Reef Check Australia has a rare exemption allowing its survey trainees to dive on Orpheus Island Marine Research Station. After accreditation, you can join any Reef Check International survey around the world.

Get into the spirit of a volunteer training camp where you will experience 4 days of diving and training. Get accreditation to dive as coral reef surveyor with Reef Check Australia/International. Earn PADI specialisation as coral reef survey diver.
