Field Study

We warmly welcome everyone who would like to learn more about the ocean and experience marine ecosystems first-hand.

Our Field Studies and courses are open to everyone — divers and sailors, students and educators, nature lovers, travelers, and anyone with a curiosity about the marine world.

Through hands-on activities, guided observations and real-life experiences in the field, you will have the opportunity to discover marine life, understand coastal and ocean ecosystems, and learn more about the importance of protecting them.

No previous scientific or diving experience is required. All you need is curiosity, an open mind, and a love for the ocean.

Come and explore, learn and connect with the Blue World together with us.
