Caribbean Scuba & Service #1

After arriving in Panama on Monday, the Caribbean Scuba & Service Session #1 students spent their first week getting their scuba diving certifications in Bocas del Toro, completing lessons and dives in the wonderful Caribbean waters. Students were able to get up-close views of a variety of tropical fish and see bioluminescence on a night dive.

They are now finishing their three-day sea kayaking expedition though the Bocas del Toro archipelago. Next up, even more water activities like wakeboarding and finally, working on sea turtle conservation project in San San Pond Sak.

Rainforest Hike & Homestay #1

During their first week in Costa Rica, our Rainforest Hike & Homestay Session #2 students completed their  jungle trek through the remote community of Piedras Blancas. The students camped along the trail before reaching homestays where they learned about Costa Rican traditions from local families.

After hiking a great distance, they ended up on the Pacific coast. Today they are at the beach near Manuel Antonio National Park learning to boogie board!

Their final days on course include whitewater rafting and  a canopy tour.
