Dive for a Difference - Protect Cyprus Turtles and Oceans

Supporting the AWARE Foundation's effort in marine conservation

About My Mission. I am a passionate PADI Instructor with Viking Divers in Cyprus, and I’m on a mission to protect the ocean that gives us so much. Every dive reminds me how fragile and precious marine life truly is, from the graceful sea turtles gliding through our waters to the vibrant reefs that sustain them.

This year, I’m raising funds to support the PADI AWARE Foundation and their vital ocean conservation efforts right here in Cyprus. Our focus:

Protecting marine life, especially our beloved sea turtles who nest along the Cypriot coast.

Reducing ocean debris and pollution through cleanups and awareness projects.

Educating divers and locals on how to be true ocean guardians.

Since 1992, the PADI AWARE Foundation has worked tirelessly to secure protection for over 100 species of sharks and rays, fund hundreds of ocean projects, and remove millions of pieces of debris from the ocean floor. With your help, we can continue that work right here at home.

Why It Matters. Cyprus’s crystal clear waters are a diver’s paradise but they’re also under threat. Plastic pollution, habitat loss, and careless tourism are putting marine life, especially turtles, at risk. By supporting this campaign, you’re not just donating money you’re helping us preserve an ecosystem, educate future divers, and inspire change for generations to come.

How You Can Help. Every donation helps us:

a.    Fund ocean cleanups around Cyprus’ dive sites. 

b.    Support turtle protection programs. 

c.     Provide education and awareness to local communities. 

Together, we can keep our oceans clean, safe, and thriving for the turtles, for the reefs, and for everyone who loves to dive.
