About the Marine Biology Internship
Our Marine Biology Internship programme lasts one month with the possibility of extending up to four consecutive months and is designed for both experienced and non-experienced divers. It is an adventure full of learning, laughter and different field work where the intern will learn the basics of marine biology, marine conservation, and scuba diving.
You will learn the basics of marine biology through taking classes, scuba diving, and reviewing data acquired during sampling. We have two main courses: seagrass and hard rock bottom community.
As a marine biology intern, you will be responsible for collecting data in the field using different underwater equipment and methods for rock bottom and seagrass sampling. You will have the opportunity to graphically and statistically analyse the data acquired during scuba diving and you will be assisted in drafting your personal scientific manuscript.
You will be able to gain valuable skills and knowledge in a range of sub-topics. You will have the opportunity to write a thesis or scientific publications and increase your skills in the marine conservation sector. You will be followed step by step, from lessons to scuba diving.
The idea is to give you a complete experience in Marine Biology, from marine organisms and their ecosystem to their underwater sampling and analysis of data acquired through scuba diving.
The field of marine biology is incredibly diverse, covering topics such as marine ecology, conservation, marine mammal behaviour, fisheries, and more. With us, you can also get scuba dive certified or continue your education in scuba diving. Our growing Database is, as usual, available for those who are looking into writing an academic/scientific paper.
