AWARE Mission and Impact
For over 30 years, PADI AWARE has been driving local action for global ocean conservation, uniting divers, scientists, and ocean advocates to protect marine life and ecosystems. Through citizen science, policy change, and community grants, we empower Ocean Torchbearers to tackle the greatest threats to our ocean – from marine debris and habitat loss to species protection and climate change.

Who We Are
The PADI AWARE Foundation is a publicly funded non-profit with three registered charities across the globe. Backed by the power of the PADI® brand and supported by the world’s largest global network of dive centers and resorts and dive instructors worldwide, PADI AWARE Foundation can fully leverage the collective influence of divers and the dive industry to address key threats facing the marine environment. Working alongside PADI, we drive towards our collective vision to achieve balance between humanity and the ocean.
