Supporting the AWARE Foundation's effort in marine conservation
I'm raising funds to support PADI AWARE Foundation's incredible efforts in marine conservation.
Since 1992 with the help of supporters like you, they have helped to secure protection for 104 species of shark and ray, funded over 200 grantees across the Blueprint for Ocean Action and removed more than 2.5 million pieces of debris from the ocean floor.
Every dollar you contribute brings us one step closer to preserving the ocean we care passionately about and achieve the vision of balance between humanity and the ocean.

Protect what we love!💙🌊 - Bubbles for a Better Ocean
Saturday 6th DecIf you believe in cleaner oceans, healthier reefs, and more sustainable diving, we invite you to support our AWARE initiatives.
Your donation directly funds conservation activities, education programs, and data-driven ocean protection efforts.
Every contribution—large or small—helps us expand our environmental impact.
At our dive center, Deepist Diving Center in Kas, Antalya, Türkiye, protecting the ocean is not just an initiative—it is part of our identity.
Every instructor candidate who trains with us, every diver who joins our trips, and every member of our community becomes part of a bigger mission: creating long-term, meaningful impact for the underwater world we love.
💧 No Plastic Water Bottles on Board
One of the first commitments in our sustainability plan is the complete removal of single-use plastic water bottles from all our boats.Instead, we provide refill stations and encourage divers to bring reusable bottles. This simple change helps reduce plastic waste and reinforces the responsibility we all share for our oceans.
♻️ Sustainable IDC Program
As outlined in our business plan, our IDC program integrates eco-friendly practices and conservation education into instructor development courses.
Candidates participate in AWARE workshops, debris data collection, and responsible diver briefings—so they can teach future divers not only how to dive, but how to protect the environment they explore.
