See You Diving: Tenerife - Marine Biology Internship

Our MARINE BIOLOGY PROGRAM focuses on understanding the marine environment, combining marine biology lessons and underwater sampling enhanced through scuba diving. We have a day-by-day calendar with many activities and training sessions to participate in our ongoing projects. You will be doing fieldwork and sampling in different marine environments, using different scientific methodologies, and always accompanied by a marine biologist and/or PADI professional instructor.

We will provide participants with practical, real-world experience that complements their academic knowledge. Working in the field and conducting research in marine environments help you to apply theoretical concepts to actual situations.

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 behavior, 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. The total time of the program is 4 weeks, can be extended up to 4 months

Our Marine Biology Program 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.

Theoretical lessons are essential to carry out a research project at its best; from the explanation of marine sampling methods to the biology of marine invertebrates, sea turtles, and fish residing in the Atlantic Ocean up to the observation of data and the drafting of manuscripts.

Within a month, the interns will have acquired the knowledge and skills to collect various data through underwater marine sampling.

This program is designed for those who want to learn to dive in total safety and for those who are already divers but want to deepen their underwater analysis and sampling skills.

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 analyze 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.

Students, recent graduates, and researchers are advised to seek funding from their universities by contacting the International/Placement/Erasmus+ offices of their universities or other scholarship providers.
