Diving & Field Research Training
As a Marine Biology Intern in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, your role is to actively participate in field research through scuba-assisted underwater sampling. You will collect scientific data using different equipment and methodologies focused on rocky-bottom communities and seagrass ecosystems.
During the program, you will learn how to visually, graphically, and statistically analyze data collected during dives. You will also receive guidance and academic support in the development and writing of your own scientific manuscript.
This internship allows you to build practical experience in marine conservation, research methodologies, and scientific communication. Participants may use the program as a foundation for a thesis or scientific publication, with step-by-step mentoring from lessons to underwater fieldwork.
Students, recent graduates, and researchers are encouraged to explore funding opportunities through their universities by contacting International, Placement, or Erasmus+ offices, as well as external scholarship providers.
