I may have only been in the Seychelles and part of the WiseOceans team for a week but I doubt the landscape, marine life and job will ever cease to amaze me! The first few days have been a whirlwind of introductions and briefings and of course ‘in water’ practice. I have shadowed both Lindsay and Charlotte […]
You never really know what’s going to happen in a day as a WiseOceans marine educator! One day last month I was just popping up to lunch when Navi – the surf instructor – called me back saying ‘there’s a nesting turtle on the beach!’ Off we sprinted up the beach and there we found […]
Lindsay: As the sun sets on 2013… So cheesy, but it’s true! This genuinely is the sun setting on the last day of 2013 here in the Seychelles. And what a year it has been.

Well we might have been at work today, but on the beach and underwater in the Seychelles is not a bad way to spend Christmas Day… With incredible weather and a sea perfect for research diving, we donned the obligatory santa hats and tinsel and headed off to collect some (very serious) coral reef data […]

The project is run by WiseOceans and funded by the Save our Seas Foundation. I honestly feel very lucky to be part of the project; the sea is my […]
Two weeks into my new job as Junior Marine Educator at Four Seasons Resort Seychelles and I keep getting asked “So, how is the job going?” My reply has been “What’s not to like?” To summarise, I spend my day at the beach and in-between talking to interested guests at the Marine Ecology picnic table I go snorkelling in […]
Contributed by Charlotte Hawley: Over the last few years since Abbie (WiseOceans Founder) and I (Charlie) met in the Maldives we have always said how great it would be to catch up again in person…then one day while sitting at home in New Zealand’s freezing cold winter Abbie asked if I’d like to help out […]
So it is now the very end of August and while all northern hemispherites are enjoying the final throes of summer, we in the southern hemisphere remain in the wild grips of winter.
