I did the March 2020 Marine Conservation Internship with WSORC. Although it got cut short due to COVID19, it still was one of the best experiences of my life! Andrea, James and Joe were incredible leaders and we had so much fun on and off the job. I expanded my marine biology knowledge so much through their lectures and hands on learning on dives and surface intervals. I walked away with so many new skills, great memories, and new friends and I cannot wait to come back to the island to visit and participate in more MCI activities. We got to encounter spinner dolphins one morning before a dive and seeing them in the wild was such a surreal experience. Along with the dive college and the lodge, WSORC is an incredible organization that is doing such important work to help preserve our marine ecosystems. I am so happy I chose to come to Utila and WSORC, I loved every minute of it!

I completed the Dive master and marine conservation internship with WSORC from February 2018 to June 2018. I enjoyed every single minute of the internship and the island of Utila itself is awesome. I learnt so much from their research projects which include Lionfish culling of the reef and dissections, ocean safaris, coral and fish ID, beach cleans and research dives. We were also given lots of informative presentations learning about different aspects of the Caribbean reef organisms, whale sharks and much more. Each day with WSORC brought new and exciting opportunities and I couldn't recommend them enough!
