En route

Four planes, several taxis and a boat journey and I had finally made it to the most remote place I had ever been to. Hoga island is tiny and part of a small island chain called the Wakatobi which is Southwest of Sulawesi, which is a bigger island that no one has usually heard of in Indonesia. Part of the coral triangle, the region with the highest marine biodiversity on the planet. My home, work and life for the summer. I was staff, co-ordinating the schools part of the conservation project. Marine biologists are carrying out research and sixth form students from around the globe converge on Hoga to learn to dive and how to survey a reef.
