PADI AWARE Foundation is a publicly funded non-profit with three registered charities across the globe. Its mission is to drive local action for global ocean conservation. The Foundation advances its mission through citizen science, public policy, and community grants. With PADI—the world’s leading scuba diver training organization—PADI AWARE drives towards our collective vision to achieve a balance between humanity and the ocean.
As part of its PADI Blueprint for Ocean Action, PADI AWARE’s programs include marine debris removal, protection of shark and ray species, addressing climate change, restoring coral reefs, and putting coral reefs under protection.

There are many ways to support PADI AWARE. Of course, financial support is always appreciated, but citizen engagement is also critical and meaningful. You can create a My Ocean account, become a Torchbearer with fins on and fins off, educate yourself about Conservation Tools, take a variety of Ocean Conservation Courses, and more.
