MAR Expeditions

About MAR

MAR Expeditions provides an opportunity for aspiring scientists, passionate conservationists, and engaged naturalists to gain scientific scuba diving & freediving experience, support research, and learn first hand from experts in a variety of different environments. During an expedition, you can expect to have experiences with manta rays, sharks, humpback whales, nudibranchs, seahorses, and much more. The east coast of southern Africa has an incredible amount of biodiversity and offers the opportunity to experience these unique and charismatic species in some of the most beautiful and wild places along the coastline. Our mission is to help to conserve the marine biodiversity of southern Africa through educational expeditions, sustainable diving, and ocean advocacy.

Our mission and vision are rooted in an innate respect and appreciation for the natural world and the desire to see oceans prosper under global understanding and stewardship.
