No work permit required  ???

I may be a sceptic but tour groups are far to shameless to allow this cash cow to slip away.......they will find a way...

volunteers may want to prepare for being murdered for 'unfair treatment' of thieves, liars, extortionists & murderers...

Applicants with experience in coral repainting prefered.

They want foreigners but no English version of the sign up page.  Ya, that works.  My teens and I are AOW and would love to do this.

I'll volunteer for this, will fill out the application on the website later.

You may consider expanding on your statement with a personal experience or verifiable reports of such things that have happened. Unsubstanciated statements are typical of the scare mongering and the negative mindset that prevails in so many responses to a story that has a positive side to it.
