Testimonies

Eddy
I’ve had a wonderful 5 weeks at Ankay Conservation. I came with no diving experience and leave as a rescue diver! The dive-sites are super. I’ve seen sharks, rays, a remora and more! The weather agrees with me. The views are beautiful. The house is big and comfortable (and has great wifi). The food is delicious. -Eddy W.R.
Johanna
I had such an amazing time on the program! I stayed for 3 weeks, enough to do reef surveys and explore the surroundings, but I felt like I could've stayed longer! I got to improve my diving and I felt so safe diving here. We had many fun nights with movies, karaokes and boardgames. I highly recommend this place if you want to learn about marine conservation and contribute to it. -Johanna C.
Helen
It was fantastic, beyond expectation! The Ankay team are passionate about preserving and monitoring the coral reefs in the Bocas del Toro archipelago. We had excellent teaching. The owners could not have done more to make our experience as good as it was. I can't recommend the organization and experience enough. -Helen P.
Timo
I had 25 days volunteer period in December 2023. Whole staff always helpful and professional. 5-star human staff with its guests are guarded by 4-paw security manager Mika. If you want holiday with a meaning, educate yourself, do something to preserve nature/marine life... don't hesitate, book yourself in! -Timo V.
Nadja
I stayed at Ankay for a three-week coral conservation course, and I loved everything about the place, the people, and the program. This fantastic volunteer program has instilled in me a regular diving routine. I now have a greater curiosity about the entire marine ecosystem and a heightened awareness of what's happening in our oceans. -Nadja S.
Andres
The program IS amazing! Amazing instructors! They are way beyond anything you would expect, are very knowledgeable and have patience with you every time. They also take you to amazing diving locations with lots of coral reefs and fish. Their actual building is amazing and very private. Would definitely love to come back for another course! -Andrés P.
