As part of the 'Reef Architects' initiative, students will dive into direct marine conservation by helping to rebuild damaged reef ecosystems. Working alongside local conservationists on the Gili Asahan house reef, students will participate in the construction and deployment of hexagonal steel 'spider frames'—structures designed to stabilize the seabed and provide a solid foundation for new life. By attaching live coral fragments to these frames, our students help accelerate the natural regeneration process, leaving behind a growing legacy that increases biodiversity and protects the coastline for years to come.

Lombok is famous for its pearls, and students will gain exclusive access to the floating pearl farms to study this sustainable industry up close. This is not just a tour; it is an active science workshop. The journey begins at a nearby island hatchery, observing how pearl oyster larvae are nurtured and tended to ensure sustainable farming practices. Students will travel to the floating platforms to witness the full lifecycle of the oyster, including the delicate process of bead insertion and pearl extraction.

Our surf session at Selong Belanak is about more than just fun; it is a hands-on lesson in resilience. This beach is famous for its safe, sandy bottom and gentle waves, making it the perfect classroom for beginners. Students learn quickly that falling is just part of the process. The real goal isn't just standing up on the board, but finding the determination to paddle back out and try again. It is a simple, powerful experience in building confidence through action.
