This is a opportunity for people that like to support a conservation program and also scuba Dive. Calipso Dive Center and Tayrona National Park in Taganga Colombia are running a midwater marine nursery to recover species of corals around the marine area, control lion fish, educating the local fisherman and monitoring the coral reef. They are looking for volunteers that want to help on the project. In the cost of the project they include dives, food and homestay in Taganga and in the field area. So, if like to have more information visit: www.calipsodivecenter.com.co or ask in this forum

No, Steve. They don`t pay anything; in fact they are looking a way to support the midwater nursery project through the time. So, a way to do it is with volunteers that can pay a fee for the program and also work in the area having many dives and enjoying the nature.
