What Does It Mean to Be a Torchbearer?

We are Ocean Torchbearers™—divers, explorers, and everyday advocates—united by a passion for protecting what we love. Through collective action above and below the surface, we’re creating a healthier ocean for this generation and the next. We believe that real change happens when we show up, speak out, and support one another in taking meaningful steps – no matter how big or how small – toward restoring balance between humanity and nature.

Ocean Torchbearers Turn Passion Into Purpose for the Ocean

From removing marine debris and aiding entangled marine wildlife to restoring vital blue carbon habitats like coral reefs and sea grass, Ocean Torchbearers are driving meaningful change where it’s needed most-helping to address the ocean’s most urgent, human-driven challenges.

The Power of Collective Action

Together, we’re a force for ocean change. With millions more joining us every year, Ocean Torchbearers are the force for good behind the largest database for marine debris on the planet, the reason why PADI AWARE Foundation has helped secure protections for more than 104 species of sharks and rays, and why nearly 35,000 marine animals have been freed from entanglement.
