For anyone who wants to experience fantastic diving with purpose then TRACC on Pom Pom Pulau is the place for you! Stayed the minimum of 2 weeks and, during that time, learned A LOT about coral, fish, turtles, reefs, bomb fishing, the Bajau people and the potential for reefs to recover. The team includes marine biologists, scientists, dive masters and people from the local community - all committed to improving the local reefs and educating about the importance of the work. Everyone is extremely friendly and generous with their knowledge and they have managed to create a supportive environment for anyone who is interested in getting involved. Dive training is also possible - I got my Advanced Open Water whilst there. Would definitely recommend and come again! Additional positives include regular turtle releases, great food and beautiful sunsets.
