Starting 2020 as a Marine Educator with WiseOceans has been the best way to begin the New Year. After making the long trip from Texas, the entire team made me feel at home, and helped me get settled into the role. My first view of Petite Anse left me speechless. Towering granitic rock blooming with […]
This guest blog comes from Reef-World‘s Communication Manager, Melissa Hobson.

I had been following WiseOceans’ social media for a while, and it was through their Jobs Board that I found the organisation in Fiji where I did my Divemaster qualification. Leaving the beauty of Fiji was hard, especially as it was winter in the UK (and unlike most Brits, I enjoy 30°+ weather), but soon […]
