PADI Dive Against Debris
Make a meaningful impact every time you dive by becoming a citizen scientist. The Dive Against DebriS Diver Specialty course teaches you how removing plastic and trash from the ocean not only helps keep dive sites cleaner but also contributes to a global database tracking marine debris. Under the guidance of an instructor, you’ll take part in a Dive Against Debris survey, turning your love for the ocean into real-world action.
Join the PADI Torchbearer movement and help protect our ocean planet - one dive at a time.
What You Will Learn:
🔹 How to identify what should and should not be removed from the ocean
