Dive Against Debris Specialty 

What You Will Learn

Like all PADI dive courses, the Project AWARE Dive Against Debris course is comprised of 2 elements:

 

1. Knowledge Development - If you have friends or family who aren't divers, they're welcome to join the class too, so you can learn how to make a difference, together (see below for more about what you'll learn).

2. Training dive - optional This is an actual Clean Up dive that you'll plan, execute and log the results of, and it's the perfect way to your learning and planning into practice right away. Check out Project AWARE Action Map to find the date that suits you best. Dates don't work? Contact DIVE ARMY for the next Dive Against Debris Event. 

 

Here's what you'll cover in the Knowledge Development part of the course:

• What marine debris is, where it comes from and the damage it does

• A bunch "oh-yeah!" easy ways that you can prevent your trash becoming marine debris

• How to plan and make a safe Dive Against Debris, without unintentionally doing more harm than good

• What to decide what to remove and what to leave behind

• How to log and report your Dive Against Debris data, so Project AWARE can use it to identify locations and marine life in greatest need of help, and what and where to focus their actions and solutions

 

If you care about protecting the ocean by learning how to do something about preventing trash endangering our underwater world, you're going to love this course, and what you'll take away from it. (Literally!) How can I start learning now? Find out more about marine debris and what you can start doing about it today, on the Project AWARE Dive Against Debris® Survey Toolkit.
