6 NIGHTS & 7 DAYS –CORAL WORKSHOP
IN PRIVATE ISLAND
The six-night trip to Raja Ampat is a unique opportunity to combine traditional island hopping with learning new skills and restoring coral reefs.
Over four days, you'll learn the most important aspects of our oceans' corals, participate in finding suitable corals
through snorkeling or diving, and learn to plant them with me on Katembe’s reef.
During the trip, you'll also visit Raja Ampat's most famous sights and dive & snorkel in some of the best waters in the world.
The Katembe x Corals coral project began in 2021, and during this course, you’ll learn more about its history and development.
The base of the trip will be Katembe Private Island, which is like the last piece of paradise.
The trip's program is conducted in English and it is suitable for anyone interested in the topic, corals, and the ocean.
No prior knowledge or skills are required. You can participate in the week's program as a diver or snorkeler.
