Conservation IDC Internship
Our Conservation IDC program includes our industry leading Complete IDC Internship with all the associated benefits such as unlimited preparation and team teaching experience and combines it with our unique conservation week program that focuses on research and conservation of two of Bali’s iconic animals – Mola Mola and Coral.
During this course you will learn to identify different growth forms, small and large polyp hard corals and how to easily distinguish between hard and soft corals. You will not only learn ways to differentiate between corals but you will also learn about the individual coral animal – the coral polyp, its life cycle and its significance to the marine ecosystem. After developing a deeper understanding and appreciation for corals the course moves on to looking at the threats that corals face and the ways we can help. As part of the course you will visit the Ocean Gardener coral farm in Sanur, help to fragment corals and then transplant some corals from the farm onto our house reef in Sanur.
You will also learn about the differences between the different ocean sunfish species and the ways to tell them apart. You will also learn about certain behaviours, recent findings as well as new questions that have arisen from the research so far. You will learn how to identify individual fish, how to take a good photo for identification purposes and help to process photos of sunfish for Ocean Sunfish Research. If you’re lucky you will be able to process your own photos of sunfish and check to see if your fish has been seen before!

We are here to HELP YOU!
As part of the Ocean Gardener and Bali Sunfish course package you will help out at the Ocean Gardener farm in Candidasa after you have completed your Ocean Gardener certification. Also, you will carry out a transect dive in Sanur to assess coral cover. This transect dive is an on- going project to monitor our reef restoration area and hopefully see an improvement over time of species diversity, abundance and health.
Becoming an Ocean Gardener Coral Diver with Crystal Divers will not only change your perception of corals but all your dives will have an entirely new element to them, giving you a whole new diving experience. Your Ocean Gardener Coral Diver certification qualifies you to visit any other Ocean Gardener coral farm and help them out on their farm activities.
Ocean Sunfish Research is a project that has arisen from the PhD research of Dr. Marianne Nyegaard. Marianne’s research area spanned New Zealand, Australia and Indonesia and she spent 3 consecutive seasons in Bali (2013-2015) as part of her field work to study the incredible phenomenon found here – the annual aggregation of Ocean Sunfish on the relatively shallow reefs around the island.
In taking this course you will be contributing directly to Ocean Sunfish Research’s ongoing data sets to develop a deeper understanding of the unique phenomenon that happens here in Bali, an understanding that ultimately highlights the importance of sustainable tourism practices and the significance of individual choices.
