Becoming a Coral Catch Superwomen was one of my "30 before 30" years old wishes, and now I’ve checked it off! During the project I loved dedicating myself to the coral restoration, the local ladies swimming classes, school visits, all of the master classes and my career guidance. Meeting the other superwomen as well as Rose, Maisy, Cakra, Katon, and Musa is such a great confidence booster and they created a very supportive environment. Thank you so much for trusting me to start my career in conservation.

There's no such thing as 'It is too late'- here I am as a Coral Catch Graduate. It was such a blessing to join this scholarship program, to learn about coral restoration and get involved in taking action. The masterclass topics, scientific skills and underwater experience have deepened my understanding towards coral and its environment. Now I am more confident to join the conservation community and get involved in conservation work. Thank you for giving me this once in a lifetime experience.

Soo cool. First, Coral Catch helped me to improve my dive skills. Second, this program has given me so much experience and information about coral restoration, in just 9 Weeks. Third, after work was done for the day we shared a lovely villa with nice people where we could rest, and were on a beautiful island. I'm so grateful to have had this opportunity. Thank you so much Coral Catch!

It’s not just a program, it’s a life changer!

Coral Catch have, in their own way, turned me into the best version of myself. From the very first day, I knew that I was in the right place, surrounded by wonderful people, with the most amazing vibes. It was the safest home to grow, to make mistakes, and to learn about millions of new things.

The knowledge, experience, encouragement and the network that I gained are invaluable to me. I couldn’t be happier with this experience.

Being part of the Coral Catch Superwomen was that thing I wouldn't except to happen in my life. This program was my biggest achievement of the year, it gave me strength and courage. The program was really fun and educating. The team was kind and I enjoyed every moment I had here. I loved the fish ID and underwater photo transect, and also making bubbles with the girls and our instructor !
