PADI Project AWARE Course

The PADI Project AWARE Specialist course is designed to introduce participants to ocean conservation and guide them in taking actions that bring about positive ocean change. This course directly supports the PADI Blueprint for Ocean Action and the Ocean Torchbearer™ movement – two cornerstone initiatives shared by the PADI organization and the PADI AWARE Foundation™.

What do you learn?

  • Why is the ocean critical to life on Earth?
  • Where and how can you participate in conservation efforts?
  • How touching, feeding or chasing aquatic organisms affect them?
  • Why should you be a buoyancy expert?
  • How do photography and videography help the ocean?
  • Why is marine debris the only items you should remove?
  • What is citizen science and what are its benefits?
  • How can being an ecotourist make a difference for the ocean?
  • How can you avoid greenwashing?
