MSc Christian Alter,

RSEC Fieldstation coordinator

Christian Alter, biologist, is managing the RSEC Fieldstations. The reef building corals of the Red Sea are his speciality. His experience as dive guide and ambitious UW-photographer let him become an excellent connoisseur of the coral reefs and its inhabitants. As a committed Reef Check Scientist he is organizing and supervising the Reef Check activities at the RSEC (Dahab Reef Monitoring) and with Sinai Divers. Since this year, he is certified as a Reef Check Instructor Trainer to teach instructors and divemasters in the Reef Check EcoAction Program. With pleasure you can convince yourself from his profound knowledge at one of our reef-biological courses or seminars, whether in Dahab or El-Quseir.

Volunteer at RSEC Fieldstation in Dahab

My name is Rubina, I´m 22 years old and I live in Lugano (Switzerland). I study Biology at the University of Zürich. I dive from 2008, and I was immediately enthusiastic about the life in the sea. That´s why I decided to participate at the „Dahab reef monitoring and conservation Project“. I have finished my 4. Semester and I decided to spend my holiday in Dahab and to attend the „Dahab reef monitoring and conservation Project“, I hope I will learn a lot about subaqueous world.

Hendrik Frey

Volunteer at RSEC Fieldstation in Dahab

Hi, my name is Hendrik. I am 24 years old and I am a biology student (8th semester) from munich. My major is ecology and my minors are zoology and pharmatoxicology. Since I am very interested in marine biology, I decided to join this years’ reef monitoring project in dahab. Another reason for me to come to dahab was the wish to gather some experience from abroad-and therefore 7 weeks in dahab seemed to be perfectly suited. Sunshine and wonderful holiday temperatures every day, a coral reef right in front of your door and many nice people to get to know- what else is there to want?

Volunteer at RSEC Fieldstation in Dahab

Hi, I´m Florin and I´m 21 years old. I study biology and science of environment at the University of Zürich in Switzerland. Since I´ve done my first scuba dive a few years ago, the fascination of the underwater world didn’t let me go anymore. The Dahab Reef Monitoring and Reef Conservation Project is the perfect voluntary service to combine my interests in biology, diving and the protection of the environment. The fact that this project takes place in Egypt, where I´ve never been before, convinced me also to join it and to get to know a new culture!

Lukas Egli

Volunteer at RSEC Fieldstation in Dahab

I´m Lukas Egli and I´ve just finished my first year of studying biology and science of environment at the University of Zurich. Since the beginning I was motivated to get practical experience in the semester break. The advertisement of the  „Dahab Reef Monitoring & Reef Conservation Project 2010“ inspired me, to get the necessary dive experience immediately, to combine science and practice in an very impressive environment. I look forward to an instructive and fascinating time, in which I can give my contribution to conservation of the nature and simultaneously get new experiences in diving and get in contact with another culture.

Christoph Gassner

Volunteer at RSEC Fieldstation in Dahab

Hej, I’m Chris and I’m 22 years old. Currently I study Biology and Environmental Sciences in Salzburg (Austria). Since my childhood I’m very interested in nature and the environment and in particular in the hydrosphere and the linkage of all ecosystems in general. Scuba diving mesmerizes me equally, so with the participation at the Dahab Reef Monitoring & Reef Conservation Project 2010 as a volunteer I can reconcile my studies (profession) and leisure. I’m highly delighted to become acquainted with the red sea underwater world, to actively experience it and to contribute to the conservation of this unique and incredible wonderful living environment.

Sabrina Heiser

Volunteer at RSEC Fieldstation in Dahab

Hellooo, I am Sabrina (19) and I just finished my first year of Marine Biology in Plymouth (UK), originally I am from Essen (Germany). I have been diving since I was 8 years old and the underwater world amazed me ever since. Now I am trying to find out which area to specialize in later. One option is certainly going into research concerning coral reefs; as they are, due to their high biodiversity, a very interesting habitat. As I have never been diving in hot countries before, the “Dahab Reef Monitoring and Conservation Project” offers me a great opportunity to look into those habitats in more depth and to find out whether I can cope with the hot climate. However, the project itself is also very important to me as coral reefs are endangered by several human impacts.

Volunteer at RSEC Fieldstation in Dahab

My name is Sahil Puri and I am currently a student of Biology and Environmental Sciences at the University of Zurich (Switzerland). Since I am very much interested in aquatic topics in general I took this great opportunity to get my hands on a real coral reef project for the first time. Since we don’t have any oceans in Switzerland and because I wanted to expand my experiences besides freshwater work, the RSEC coral monitoring (located in Dahab, Egypt) just seemed a perfect offer! Thank you so much for giving me such an opportunity! To be continued…

Hi, I am Sofia and I am 23 years old. I study biology at the University of Zurich (Switzerland). In February 2010, I went on my first dive, here in Dahab. I loved the local underwater world and  I am very interested in ecology and marine biology, therefore, this reef monitoring project came as a perfect opportunity to improve my diving skills and my biological knowledge. I also like the thought of doing something useful and challenging during  semester holidays.

Christina Hörterer

Volunteer at RSEC Fieldstation in Dahab

Hi, my name is Christina, I'm 22 years old and I'm studying B. Sc. Biology in Bremen for two years. Later I would like to specialize in Marine Ecology.  Up to now I only knew the Northern Sea and the Mediterranean Sea and therefore I wanted to get to know warmer waters.
The sea and its organisms and their relationship between each other are fascinating me since I was a small child. And such a great and complex Ecosystem like the coral reef needs to be conserved.
I'm diving for two years now and besides getting to know an new ecosystem I also wanted to experience a new country and culture.
I hope that I will learn a lot and make great experiences here in Dahab.
