Marine Biology

The ocean has always felt like home to me. Through diving, internships, and research, I’ve had the opportunity to explore this world more deeply and understand the challenges it faces. From studying coral reef ecosystems to interning at marine labs, my passion for marine biology has grown into a commitment to protect and preserve it. This page shares some of my most meaningful experiences, from hands-on conservation work to scientific inquiry, all rooted in a determination to safeguard our oceans for the future.

Conservation In Thailand

I spent this summer plunging into conservation with Coral Tribe on Koh Tao, Thailand, as one of their youngest members and the only high school intern. With two dives a day, I finally put my certifications to work, assisting hands-on with a range of reef restoration and marine ecology projects listed below. This experience strengthened my scientific diving skills and deepened my understanding of ocean conservation, coastal ecosystems, and the urgency of protecting coral reefs. Here are the main intiaves I took part of

"Throughout her time with us, Sohini was a great team player. She easily fit into any team and could be counted on to communicate efficiently. Even after hours of tedious data entry She was adaptable and resilient, taking on any task requested of her. She showed a deep appreciation and understanding for every program that she participated in."

Diving has been my gateway into the world of marine biology. Being underwater has deepened my connection to the ocean more than anything else. I’ve been diving since 2023 and have had the opportunity to explore reefs all across Southeast Asian waters, and I hope to see more. It’s something I absolutely love and hope to do much more of in the future. These are the certifications I’ve achieved so far:

Diving

Open Water Diver

 PADI certified twice in 2023 and 2024

Advanced Open Water

PADI certified in 2025

Peak Performance Buyancy 

SSI certified in 2025
