The PADI AWARE Foundation is a trusted, publicly funded non-profit with over three decades of impact. With three registered charities across the globe, your support helps to drive local action for global ocean conservation. All donations, great or small, matter. 

We hold an above industry standard donation impact, with 84% of the Foundation's revenue funding our programs, a guarantee that your organisation contributes directly to outcomes.

United with PADI in a shared Blueprint for Ocean Action, our community is leading a powerful global movement to save the ocean, backed by the power of the world's largest global network of divers. Together, we are restoring marine habitats, advocating for vulnerable marine life, stopping marine debris and advancing marine protected areas.

An overview of our programs are shown below:

• Our PADI AWARE Community Grant program directly supports and invests in local communities in their conservation efforts
• With over 1,900 underwater sites across 109 countries, our Adopt the Blue program is ready for ocean monitoring
• Through our flagship program, Dive Against Debris we house and engage the world's largest underwater citizen science database and movement for marine debris
• Our soon to be launched Global Shark and Ray Census, a global citizen science program that aims to monitor shark and ray populations and to ensure they are protected from extinction
• The early stages of developing a Coral Reef Restoration Program to help fight for healthy coral reefs across the globe

Without donors like you, we wouldn't be able to make an impact and help protect our ocean - an ocean of gratitude for your support.
