Blue Ventures is a nonprofit offering marine conservation expeditions in Belize, Madagascar, and Timor-Leste to monitor marine conservation programs. Volunteers contribute through data collection during research dives, and fees cover all food, lodging, training, and diving throughout the weeks. Although some of the programs act as a citizen science type volunteer experience, the organization also offers discounts for medics, as well as supports undergraduate students with independent research projects related to marine conservation.

Volunteering is within Marine Conservation. This project is for divers, non-divers, scientists and non-scientists alike. The PADI Open Water course is included in the price so even complete beginners can join. The company’s current primary objective is for the Belizean Government to enforce preservation zones in the Sapodilla Cayes Marine Park (SCMR).
