Description

While PADI does not offer a specific “Conservation Diver” course, they have developed various courses and programs that emphasize conservation and environmental awareness. Two notable courses that focus on these aspects are the Project AWARE Specialist course and the Dive Against Debris Specialty course.

Project AWARE Specialist Course:
The Project AWARE Specialist course is designed to educate divers and non-divers alike about the critical issues facing the world’s aquatic ecosystems. This non-diving course provides participants with an understanding of the challenges faced by marine environments and the role that individuals can play in preserving these ecosystems. Topics covered in the course include marine debris, overfishing, climate change, and the importance of marine protected areas. Upon completion of the course, students are better equipped to make informed decisions and take action to protect the underwater world.
Dive Against Debris Specialty Course:
The Dive Against Debris Specialty course is a hands-on program that trains divers to actively participate in underwater clean-up efforts and contribute to the global fight against marine debris. Participants learn how to plan and execute debris removal dives safely, identify and document the types of debris they encounter, and report their findings to Project AWARE’s global database. This course not only helps divers develop valuable skills for environmental conservation but also raises awareness about the impact of marine debris on aquatic ecosystems.
Both of these courses aim to create environmentally conscious divers who understand the importance of preserving and protecting the world’s oceans. By participating in these programs, divers can make a positive impact on the environment and contribute to the long-term health of aquatic ecosystems.
