Volunteer on projects that are long-term and sustainable with Quest Overseas. Quest Overseas have been running expeditions for 10 years and raised £1 million for worthwhile projects.
Quest Underseas is a new division offering placements in marine conservation. Whether you're an experienced scuba diver, or you've never dived before, you can play a valuable role in conserving fragile marine ecosystems.
The expeditions and placements
You will work on projects that Quest have committed to for 5 years. You know your money is going to the right place and that you will be travelling ethically and responsibly. You will be part of a team but also given flexibility and variety. You will be fully supported and prepared through Quest training. You will get a personal service and won't find any 'hidden extras'. You'll know you're making a positive impact on people and the environment.
Quest staff all have personal experience of the countries you will be exploring. Their dedication to the fragile habitats, endangered species and threatened communities Quest work with gives them an unparalleled reputation. The result is expeditions that are not only rewarding and inspiring, but safe as well.

About Quest Overseas
What makes Quest Overseas unique is both the experience they have of sending people on life-changing expeditions for over a decade and the amount of contributions that go directly to the projects. Every year over 350 people rely on Quest to open their eyes to a new world.
In close consultation with project partners, Quest Overseas calculates the optimum amount of money that will benefit and help support the project for the long-term benefit of everyone involved. This amount is the contribution that is donated directly to the project which reflects the short and medium term costs of maintaining the projects and ensures long-term commitment.
But that's just the start of the list. Join a Quest Overseas or Quest Underseas expedition and add your name to the growing number of people who have really made a positive impact this way.
