PADI Dive Against Debris

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

🔹 How to conduct a Dive Against Debris survey dive, including collecting, sorting, and weighing marine debris

🔹 How to record and submit data to the PADI AWARE Foundation’s global database, contributing to marine conservation efforts

The PADI e-Learning materials are accessible in multiple languages. At B&W Diving, we are pleased to provide in-person dive training in English, French, Spanish, and Japanese. Please note that comprehension of the training language is crucial for effective learning and maintaining safety throughout your course.
