Your gift helps transform the world's largest diving community into the world's most powerful force for ocean conservation. One-off gifts fund projects. Monthly gifts fund the machinery that keeps them running.

Why monthly, and not just once.
Regular funding is the difference between reacting to the ocean and planning for it.
The work stops being seasonal
Treaty negotiations do not wait for a campaign. Neither do the dive centres logging debris every week. Regular funding means we can commit to something in March that pays off in November.
It costs us less to raise
We do not have to spend money asking you again. Over 80% of our revenue goes into AWARE programmes, and regular giving is the cheapest money we raise.
You are not locked in
Change your amount, pause it, or stop altogether whenever you want. No phone call, no explanation. You get a receipt every month so you always know where you stand.
Pick an amount that suits you.
Any amount is welcome, and every amount funds the same programmes. These are just the ones people choose most, and what a year of them adds up to.
Prefer a different amount? Set your own on the next page. Change or cancel it whenever you like, from your account or by emailing us.
What funding does over years
Mkwiro, Kenya.
REEfolution run the Mkwiro Restoration Project, a 47-hectare community managed area on Kenya's south coast being rebuilt by the people who live there. Reef Rangers, trained locally in diving and coral restoration, work alongside the beach management units that govern the water.
Their current grant sets out to outplant 15,000 corals, train the Reef Ranger team to Divemaster and Rescue Diver level, and reach around 1,500 people through 90 school visits a year. Fish biomass is reported back to us through the AWARE Biodiversity Survey.
We funded them in 2023 and again in 2025. Coral takes years to come back, and so does training a team. Regular giving is what lets us return to a project instead of funding it once and hoping.

Questions people ask
When am I charged?
Your first gift is taken when you sign up, then on the same date each month. A receipt lands in your inbox every time, so there are no surprises.
Can I change or cancel my amount?
Any time, from your account, or email information@padiaware.org and we will sort it. No notice period and no reason needed.
Is my donation tax deductible?
It depends where you are and which of our regional entities receives your gift. Your receipt will show the registration details for your region. If you are unsure, ask us and we will point you to the right one.
When does the mask strap arrive?
Allow six to eight weeks. It is sent to the address on your donation, so let us know if that changes before it ships.
Where does the money actually go?
Over 80% of our revenue funds AWARE programmes: citizen science, policy advocacy and community grants. Every donation is independently audited.
