  • During the  week, the program offers multiple presentations on practical marine conservation. Learn about protecting coral reefs, identifying marine species, and the effects of plastic pollution.

For additional information about our trips, visit our Bookbag Tours FAQ page.

Do I need to be scuba certified?  NO.  You can snorkel every day! However, if you wish to scuba you do need certification.  If you want to get certified to dive, we recommend you take an intro dive somewhere and if you like it, get certified in your home town with some friends!  We will be doing similar trips in the future to the Red Sea, Belize, The Keys, Fiji, & the Maldives.

Activity Level:   Moderate to High (Swimming, Hot and some walking)

Note: Itinerary Subject to Change

PD Level: High.  Please note the magic of these trips is the time you spend with fellow educators on your trip engaged in ORGANIC PD, so you really get out of it what you put into it.  Because this trip has lectures on Reef Restoration from a professional Marine Biologist, hands on lab work and discussion with educators, it is considered a High Level PD.  

Professional Development Certificate- All Participants will receive a certificate for 20+ professional development hours. 

Graduate Credits- In addition, we have partnered with an accredited university to allow participants to earn 1 graduate credit for an additional $100 or 3 graduate credits for an additional $300.

Even better? Bring a friend you’ve already shared a room (and some laughs) with, and have them register too!

Travel Tips

  1. Check Your Gear

    Whether you bring your own or rent, make sure everything fits well and works properly before heading out.

  2. Look, Don’t Touch

    Bali’s reefs are beautiful! Help protect them by avoiding contact with coral or marine life.

  3. Stay Hydrated

    It’s easy to forget to drink water when you’re having fun. Bring a water bottle and take breaks when needed.

  4. Stick With Your Guide

    Your guide knows the area and will help keep things fun and safe—just follow their lead.

  5. Travel Insurance is a Plus

    It’s always good to be prepared, especially when doing water activities in a new place.
