Who We Are

PADI AWARE Foundation is a global nonprofit, powered by the world’s largest network of divers, dive professionals, and marine advocates. With three registered charities worldwide, we connect local action with global impact to protect the ocean.

As the conservation partner of PADI®, we harness the strength of the dive community to address the ocean’s most urgent threats - driving meaningful change through marine policy advocacy, citizen science, and direct conservation efforts. Together, we are working to restore the ocean’s health and achieve a future where humanity and the ocean thrive in balance.

Our Impact

Thanks to supporters like you, PADI AWARE Foundation is driving meaningful change for the ocean. From reporting millions of pieces of marine debris to expanding marine protected areas and safeguarding endangered species like sharks and rays, we are creating tangible impact where it matters most.

Through global conservation programs like Dive Against Debris® , Adopt the Blue™, and the PADI AWARE Community Grant Program, we mobilize divers, dive centers and local communities to take action for ocean health. With ongoing support, we continue to fund critical conservation projects, protect marine life, and inspire new generations of ocean advocates.

Project AWARE Foundation: 1989

بدأت مغامرتنا في المحافظة على المحيط كمشروع - أخلاقيات بيئية بدأتها PADI في أواخر الثمانينيات. كانت مهمة Project A.W.A.R.E الأساسية هي تعليم العالم عن أهمية ومسؤولية الحفاظ على البيئة المائية.

بفضل الدعم الهائل من مجتمع الغوص، تم تسجيل مؤسسة Project AWARE في عام 1992 كمنظمة غير ربحية مستقلة بموجب المادة 501(c)3 في الولايات المتحدة، وأنشأت مؤسسة خيرية في المملكة المتحدة في عام 1999 وحصلت على وضع غير ربحي رسمي في أستراليا في عام 2002.
