Barefoot Conservation is proud to announce a new project site for our Marine Conservation and Community awareness project in Indonesia. 

Our new project site is located right in the heart of the Coral Triangle in an area know as Raja Ampat. Situated off the coast of Western Papua in the east of Indonesia, this truly is a diving paradise and an epicenter of marine biodiversity.

The archipelago of Raja Ampat, or "Four Kings", is made up of over 1500 small islands and cays, although only 35 of them are inhabited including the four main islands, or ‘Kings’, of Misool, Salawati, Batanta, and Waigeo. 

Raja Ampat’s unique position on the cusp of two oceans; the Indian and Pacific, is to thank for the areas incredible biodiversity. Powerful deep-sea currents sweep nutrients into Raja Ampat’s eager reefs, the life source for it’s booming populations. The same currents carry the regions larvae across the oceans to repopulate reefs in other parts of the ocean.   This area’s importance to marine conservation extends far beyond its tropical borders. 

Simply drop us a call or email which you can find on the "Contact us" page and one of our helpful trip adviser's will guide you through what you need to do to reserve your place on the project.

The majority of volunteers stay between 6 and 12 weeks, and we recommend a minimum of 4-6 weeks to really get the most out of your experience. The scuba diving and science training normally takes between 2-3 weeks so it is not until the 4th week that you really get your teeth into the survey diving and community work. However we understand that not everyone can come for this amount of time due to work commitments or other. So we have devised a shorter program for those who are already qualified divers and only have 2-3 weeks available, though these places on the project are limited, so make sure you book early. Volunteers can also extend their stay while on the project from week to week, and the longer you stay the cheaper it becomes.
