Lombok, July 2025 — The “Ocean Healing” initiative is a breath of fresh air for marine conservation efforts while empowering the local youth. This program is designed to bring young people together with the ocean through a series of diving activities, coral reef conservation training, and direct mentoring by professional marine mentors. With a donation contribution of $30–40, one participant can participate in the entire series of educational activities.
Through this program, participants are not only invited to dive and enjoy the beauty of the underwater world, but also understand the importance of maintaining the balance of the marine ecosystem. They gain first-hand knowledge about the structure and function of coral reefs, marine restoration techniques, and the important role of humans in maintaining the sustainability of coastal ecosystems.
“We believe that direct experience at sea will form a strong emotional bond between young people and nature. This is where awareness and responsibility are born,” said one of the mentors from the marine conservation team.
In addition to technical training, “Ocean Healing” also instills the values of leadership and teamwork. Participants are invited to discuss, solve environmental problems, and design small solutions that they can implement in their communities. This is in line with the program’s vision: one reef, one lesson, one life-changing dive.
This program is open to local students who have a passion for learning and care about the environment. Each participant not only goes home with a certificate, but also brings with them a wealth of experience and insight that they can pass on to their schools, homes, and communities.
“Ocean Healing” is proof that conservation can start from small things, and that the ocean is not only a place to be protected, but also an extraordinary learning space for the future of the earth.
Join the Journey
Your support can spark waves of transformation. Through each dive, we plant not only corals—but courage, knowledge, and purpose in every young heart.
Together, we can ensure no youth is left behind from the ocean’s classroom, and that more future guardians of the sea emerge from our own coastal communities.
Let’s keep healing the ocean—one student, one reef, one life-changing dive at a time.
