Supporting the AWARE Foundation's effort in marine conservation

We are raising funds to support the PADI AWARE Foundation and to protect the reefs, shorelines, and marine life that define St. Croix and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Since 1992, with the support of divers and ocean advocates around the world, PADI AWARE has helped secure protection for 104 species of sharks and rays, funded over 200 conservation projects through the Blueprint for Ocean Action, and removed more than 2.5 million pieces of debris from the ocean floor.

Here in St. Croix, marine debris directly impacts our coral reefs, sea turtles, rays, and the local economy that depends on healthy oceans. Every dollar raised helps turn local dive efforts into global  action supporting debris removal, data collection, and policy-driven conservation that protects our waters for future generations.

Your contribution brings us one step closer to preserving the reefs we dive, the beaches we live on, and the ocean we care deeply about helping achieve a true balance between humanity and the sea.
