I had such a wonderful time in the Philippines! The work CCC is doing is incredibly meaningful. The entire experience was so enjoyable and was one that I will never forget - Angus, Minerva fellowship USA
In less than 18 days I learned how to recognize a Morish Idol from a Butterfly Fish, that cuttlefish can swim back-and-forth and that white beaches are just a collection of parrotfish poo. Thanks to the CCC team I became a Certified Eco-Diver for the Indo-Pacific region and more important a passionate diver. – Paula, Netherlands
Fantastic value for money for an unforgettable experience. It has been absolutely invaluable for both enjoyment and education. - Ed, United Kingdom
