PADI AWARE Foundation is in its 34th year as the foremost diver-led non-profit for global ocean conservation, amplifying the voice of the dive community and the wildlife who depend upon a healthy ocean to thrive. 

For us, the ocean is more than a place – it’s a home, a classroom, and a source of life-changing adventure. Today, the ocean ecosystems we cherish face growing pressures that threaten its survival. 
 
AWARE stands on the frontlines, securing protections for vulnerable species, finding solutions for plastic pollution, expanding Marine Protected Areas and preserving ocean habitats. We dive with purpose, creating local action for global impact!  

79% of every donation directly supports ocean conservation programs.
