Bubbles Dive Resort, Pulau Perhentian, Malaysia
6 Days 5 Nights - Sundays to Fridays

Experience turtle conservation in an eco-resort surrounded by nature.
As a Participant in the Experiential Program, you will work directly alongside the dedicated Conservation Team, while learning more about the habitat around Bubbles Dive Resort (both in and out of the ocean!)
From hatchling releases to beach cleans and supporting egg relocation, you will get hands-on experience and an in depth understanding of what it means to be a conservationist.
Experience turtle conservation, give back to the ocean.
What to expect?
You will have the opportunity to engage in a range of activities and educational resources. The day starts at 14:00 every day, so you’ll have plenty of downtime to explore and relax on the beach or go snorkeling in the bay.
-
Hatchery Maintenance - Our hatchery keeps our eggs safe from predation while they are incubating, as well as operating at a temperature regulator. We complete weekly hatchery maintenance to ensure the structure is stable and functioning.
-
Turtle Talk - You will familiarize yourself with the material for turtle talks, empowering yourself to spread the message of turtle conservation far and wide.
-
Nightly Beach Patrols - You will partake in four night patrols, occasionally under a starlit sky. This includes checking the hatchery and patrolling the beach every hour to monitor for any turtle activity between 21:00 - 02:00 or 02:00 - 03:00 - 07:00.
-
Turtle Work - You'll have the opportunity to assist our team with field data collection, whether it's gathering information on nesting mothers or hatchlings, depending on the season. You'll also help release hatchlings into the sea, setting up barriers for safe guest viewing as part of the process.
-
Beach Clean - Here at Bubbles, we’re super passionate about all areas of our environment. Each week we pick up any rubbish that has washed up on our beach, and catalog it into the Clean Swell app.
