Going to the Seychelles was a wonderful experience. I only wish that I could have been there for longer than a month. The people I met there are absolutely fantastic. I couldn't have asked for a better group of volunteers to be there with me. The staff were also extremely helpful with anything and their fun and interesting lessons made the learning easier! The GVI staff were brilliant and always knew how to help us. The camp life was quite basic, but I quite enjoyed the simplicity of it all. It really makes your appreciate what is really important in life. The diving there was brilliant as well. The coral reefs that we surveyed were gorgeous and there was always plenty to see. Although the visibility wasn't great due to the plankton in the water, it did bring the whale sharks to base! So I was extremely lucky to have seen a whale shark while I was there. Overall, my experience was really, really good and I would recommend it to any keen diver wiling to learn more about the oceans. If I could, I would do it all over again, but for longer!
