Welcome to the Internship application page!

For a non-binding application, please send us a short and non-formal letter of motivation, and a resume/CV in .doc, .docx or pdf format.

Please explain what you think we can do for you, what you can do for us, state your experience in diving and research (if any), and state all other qualifications that you think are useful to us. It’s for getting to know you a little better and speed up the process.

Don’t be intimidated if you don’t have any experience yet, we’re here to help with that!

Please don’t write your motivation in the email content, use the email as a cover letter.

Please note: only complete applications (Letter of Motivation AND CV/resume) will be processed. Your placement can only be guaranteed after you paid an initial deposit of the course fee. We follow a strict first-come-first-serve policy.

Please send your information to info@coresea.com & state in the subject whether you are applying for the Marine Conservation Internship or Marine Research Internship program.

We look forward to hearing from!

Marine Conservation & Research Internship costs

CORE sea is a non-profit organisation, which means we are not a normal business, like a dive school or so. Our primary goal is to achieve our mission statement, while covering the costs that arise in the process. Which is a long way of saying: no discounts.

Conservation internships are available from 4-12 weeks. Research internships require a minimum commitment of 10 weeks to allow sufficient time for training, field data collection and project work.

Included in the internship fee:

• Marine research & conservation training programme
• Accommodation at the COREsea field station
• SCUBA diving and tank costs associated with the internship programme
• Use of dive equipment for programme activities
• Training and participation in COREsea’s long-term coral reef monitoring and research programmes
• Field and research supervision from the COREsea team
• Drinking water and Wi-Fi at the field station
• Pick-up and drop-off from Thong Sala Pier on designated arrival/departure days
• Internship completion certificate 

Not included:

• Food
• Travel to/from Koh Phangan
