Additional Options

Optional Advanced SCUBA Training Courses

Volunteers participating on marine expeditions have the opportunity to join optional advanced-level SCUBA training courses (up to PADI Dive Master Level) during the course of their expedition. The costs for these courses are as follows: 

  • Rescue Diver 3 days valued at £200
  • Dive Master 21 days valued at £350 (a minimum of 12 conservation weeks is needed to allow enough time to complete this course. Free for expeditions lasting 16 weeks or more). Please note: Volunteers must be 18 years+ to join this programme.

NB: CCC's pricing is defined by project site and is reflective of the in-country costs of operation. To get the most out of your conservation expedition and to experience all the elements that make up it up, we would recommend you go for a minimum of four (4) weeks for marine expeditions and eight (8) weeks for the forest expeditions.

Please note:
  • Reef Check training is currently available in Tobago and the Philippines.
  • Whilst EFR and RC training >> are free, there is an optional certification card that will cost £15 and £30 respectively, volunteers can either pay before departure or once the course has been completed.
  • All volunteers who have booked a Rescue course must purchase the relevant PADI crew pack before departure, regardless of whether it is a free course or not, as they are not supplied on expedition. (Refer to the CCC Expedition Guide >> )
  • EFR, Rescue Diver and Dive Master courses need to be completed in this sequence, i.e. you cannot begin a Dive Master course without having completed Rescue Diver.
  • A minimum of 4 weeks is required to complete the Rescue Diver course.
