With the support of donors, partners, and divers like you, the PADI AWARE Foundation has made a significant impact over the past three decades. Together, we have achieved significant milestones, including securing international protection policies for vulnerable shark and ray species, removing 2 million pieces of trash from the ocean through groundbreaking marine debris research, and educating 1 million divers on environmental threats.

Through citizen science, public policy, and community grants, the PADI AWARE Foundation strives to create a balance between humanity and the ocean. With PADI's extensive network of 6,600 dive centers and resorts and over 128,000 professional members worldwide, we are uniquely positioned to address key threats to the marine environment. Our programs focus on reducing marine debris, protecting shark and ray species, addressing climate change, restoring coral reef habitats, and promoting marine protected areas.
