Save the Ocean Pledge
By taking this Pledge, you are making a commitment to act as an ocean steward, protecting and preserving our blue planet.
PADI Blueprint for Ocean Action
Ocean Torchbearers are taking action to protect 30% of the ocean by 2030
As an Ocean Torchbearer, I pledge to:
Engage in Torchbearer actions that restore balance between humanity and ocean.
Act as an ocean steward, exploring with care and leaving ecosystems in an equal or better state than I find them.
Respect Culture, traveling with an open heart and mind, showing consideration for all.
Share your passion to explore and protect the oceans with friends, family and my community.
I Pledge to Act as an Ocean Steward, Protecting and Preserving our Blue Planet
As an Ocean Torchbearer, you will be the first to know about opportunities to save the ocean with PADI and PADI AWARE Foundation, as well as inspiring your adventures with courses, eco-friendly shopping and more.
