Community Projects – Komodo

(Please be patient while we move all the pages from our old website to this new one!!!)

 

We do several projects in Komodo to support our local community. In our short 2 1/2 years based in Labuan Bajo, we have already hosted the first Instructor course in Eastern Indonesia – and this was entirely in Bahasa for the local guides. We have hosted 11 different interns from our local vocational school (hiring two of them!), taught 6 different interns from Komodo Village diving and hired three of them!

In one of our largest projects – we have taught marine biology and ecology at the local high school to more than 80 students. We are currently teaching swimming and snorkeling to more than a dozen who will soon move on to our diving internship program. Through this we are teaching the future generations not only to understand the seas we care so much about – but also to learn and share this passion with their peers and hopefully their future customers too!!
