Turtle Conservation Experiential Program
Bubbles Dive Resort, Pulau Perhentian, Malaysia
6 Days 5 Nights - Sundays to Fridays
March - October 2025
As a Participant in our Experiential Program, you will work directly alongside our dedicated Conservation Team, while learning more about the habitat around us at Bubbles (both in and out of the ocean!)
​
​From hatchling releases to beach cleans and supporting egg relocation, you will get hands-on experience and an in depth understanding of what it means to be a conservationist.
What will you be experiencing?
As part of the Experiential Program, you will have the opportunity to engage in a range of activities and educational resources. Our day starts at 14:00 every day, so you’ll have plenty of downtime to explore and relax on the beach or go snorkeling in the bay.
​
​
​Hatchery Maintenance
Our hatchery keeps our eggs safe from predation while they are incubating, as well as operating at a temperature regulator. We complete weekly hatchery maintenance to ensure the structure is stable and functioning.
​
Turtle Talk
As an active participant, you will familiarize yourself with the material for turtle talks, empowering yourself to spread the message of turtle conservation far and wide.
​
Nightly Beach Patrols
You will partake in four night patrols, occasionally under a starlit sky. This includes checking the hatchery and patrolling the beach every hour to monitor for any turtle activity between 21:00 - 02:00 or 02:00 - 03:00 - 07:00.
​
Turtle Work
You'll have the opportunity to assist our team with field data collection, whether it's gathering information on nesting mothers or hatchlings, depending on the season. You'll also help release hatchlings into the sea, setting up barriers for safe guest viewing as part of the process.
​
Beach Clean
Here at Bubbles, we’re super passionate about all areas of our environment. Each week we pick up any rubbish that has washed up on our beach, and catalog it into the Clean Swell app.
​
