The Island

When you type paradise into Google this is what comes up. A perfect small round desert island in the middle of a clear azul tropical sheltered sea. Marine life is what the Maldives are famed for with exquisite healthy reefs boasting megafauna from eagle rays turtles and sharks as well as schools of snappers, surgeon fish and grunts. On land health, the scrub jungle interior is an important nesting sight for stunning white turns.

Once you have completed your training and explored every inch of the island we will drop you off on your new island, for your survival phase to see what your new island has to offer
