While I don’t have any formal marine biology training, I have extensive dive experience and certification. I would readily do this for a year if someone paid all my living and working expenses in some remote tropical island somewhere.
- Stevvo 7y agoThere is some demand for it; resorts with a house reef will sometimes hire someone to maintain it. You would need training; not a marine biology degree, but at-least a month of on the job experience. Also should be comfortable mixing concrete in 40 humid degree heat.
- jsjohnst 7y agoNot really interested in doing it for a resort (where you are essentially the underwater equivalent of their handyman), I meant on a large scale in a marine sanctuary where I can help preserve the wonder and awe I experienced on my first dives for future generations. I don’t think the world at large truly understands how bad it is for coral reefs these days. I’ve only been scuba diving for a bit over 20 years and many of my favorite dive sites are virtually unrecognizable from 10-15 years ago.
