Where to begin?! It was by far one of the greatest things i've ever done in my life! Living on a remote tropical island, 4 degrees south of the equator, diving everyday and spending time with new friends is just pure bliss.
I decided to do the GVI expedition as I am studying Marine Biology at University and i thought it'd be amazing experience, and a perfect way to spend my summer before i started Uni. I was right. GVI made the whole trip worthwhile. The staff members are all proffessional, fun and know their field. They are passionate about what they do and really give you the drive and motivation to persue your goals. Life on the expedition in unbeatable: who can say they've snorkelled with a whale shark? Been face to face with a white tip reef shark? Followed a hawksbill turtle for 20minutes watching it's every move? Seen endless numbers of some of the most amazing fish in their own pristine habitat? It is a truly amazing, and educational trip that i would reccommend to anyone without hesitation.
