Surrounded by one of Earth’s largest barrier reefs, Belize is becoming a popular destination. But despite the designation of its waters as protected Marine Reserves, coastal development, overfishing, and tourism threaten the biodiversity of this tiny nation.
We offer the chance to study and protect the life that depends on this reef. Whether your team is based at our remote Living Reef Center or at a beachside hotel, you can experience Belize in a unique way and be part of a group of projects working to help this country strike a balance between economic growth and ecosystem health.

DIVING & SNORKELING
Want to get a deeper look at our oceans? We offer plenty of opportunities to help the underwater world through our diving and snorkeling expeditions. Suit up and study the stunning fishes, shipwrecks, sharks and reefs waiting beneath the surface.
OTHER OCEAN OPPORTUNITIES
We also offer two expeditions to the beautiful Monterey Bay area of California, where you can study dolphins, seals, sharks and rays. Or you can shoot up the coast to Alaska and help a declining seal population.
