How much does it cost?

Society Membership Fee

To be able to join an expedition you must be a member of the CCC Society.

Expedition Fee

CCC pricing is defined by project site and is reflective of the in-country costs of operation. The minimum commitment for Volunteers is one (1) week for marine expeditions and four (4) weeks for the forest expeditions (those wishing to go for less are required to pay the four week price).

It is possible to extend your expedition when you are on site. You will need to speak to your expedition leader for more information on this. Payment can be through CCC Head Office via expedition site.

Currency in pound sterling (GBP)

The expedition fee includes UK briefing sessions, field accommodation, food, BCD's and Regulator hire (dive trainees), tanks, air, weight belts, expedition & research training and field staff supervision. The fee does not include international flights, transfers, in-transit accommodation, PADI manuals and dive certification, insurance, airport departure taxes, your own diving or trekking equipment and other items of a personal nature.

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:

Emergency First Response 2 days £65 (provided free-of-charge to Volunteers joining the CCC Scuba Training Programme)
Rescue Diver 3 days £200
Dive Master 21 days £350 (a minuminum 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.

Please note:

As of October 2006 there will be a 20% surcharge for those booking additional courses once on site. It is strongly recommended to book these additional courses before departing to guarantee the prices listed above.

Emergency First Response, Rescue Diver and Dive Master courses need to be completed in this sequence, i.e. you cannot begin a Dive Master course without already having reached Rescue Diver level.

All volunteers who have booked Scuba courses must purchase the relevant PADI crewpack/EFR manual, regardless of whether it is a free course or not, as they are not supplied on-site - please refer to the CCC Expedition Guide for full details.

Combining a Marine and Forest Expedition

For the ultimate experience, why not split your time between a CCC marine expedition and a CCC forest expedition? You can now do this in the Philippines. Just imagine diving some of the world's most biodiverse coral reefs, and then spending time in some of the planet's least disturbed and little-known tropical forests.
