Supporting the AWARE Foundation's effort in marine conservation

Those who know me know just how thankful I am for the incredible gift of exploring the underwater world. Nothing lights up my smile quite like being in, on, or under the water — whether I’m diving, freediving, teaching someone new (including through Adaptive Techniques), or helping others build confidence in the water.

This Thanksgiving, I want to give back to the ocean that gives us so much. 💙

I’m raising funds to support the PADI AWARE Foundation and their amazing marine conservation efforts — ensuring that my kiddos and their (one-day) kiddos can enjoy the same underwater magic for generations to come.

Since 1992, PADI AWARE and ocean lovers like you have:
🦈 Helped protect 104 species of sharks and rays
🌎 Funded 200+ global conservation projects
♻️ Removed over 2.5 million pieces of debris from our ocean floors

Every dollar makes waves — bringing us closer to a healthy, thriving ocean for the future.

Let’s dive in together to protect what we love!
