We are excited to invite you to our second Dive Against Debris and Beach Cleanup event! This initiative is part of our ongoing commitment to preserving marine environments and promoting environmental education. Together, we can make a significant impact on the health of our oceans.
A Dive Against Debris Diver takes direct ‘fins on’ action for the ocean, collecting critical survey data from any or every dive that can be used by marine researchers and policymakers for conservation efforts. No one is better suited to tackle marine debris than PADI Divers.
Any PADI Junior Open Water Diver, Freediver or Advanced Mermaid or higher can take the Dive Against Debris Speciality course and help tackle marine debris issues head on. Become a diver to join the world’s largest underwater citizen science movement on the planet.
