I'm fundraising to help PADI AWARE help ocean heroes.
PADI AWARE Foundation has 100 days to raise $100,000 to double the number of grantees that will receive funding for their ocean-saving initiatives. Every donation, big or small, helps us reach our target. Please join me in driving impact where it's needed most.
Donate and you could win a liveaboard trip to the Red Sea, Egypt!*
Over the past few months, PADI AWARE received more than 150 community grant funding requests – a quadruple increase in under just two years. Ocean and community-changing proposals have come in from over 31 countries, spanning almost every continent on the planet.
