Pledge your ongoing commitment to ocean protection and go 100% AWARE in 2012.

Project AWARE is launching a new partnership programme to help PADI Dive Centres integrate ocean protection priorities into their business and fund critical conservation initiatives at the same time. Beginning January 2012, dive centres and resorts taking part in the programme will ensure all of their student divers receive the Project AWARE version of their PADI certification card. 100% AWARE donations will target protection for the world’s most threatened shark species and the removal and prevention of marine debris from treasured underwater environments. Together we can make ocean protection a reality.

Did you know?

• Less than 1% of our ocean is protected.
• 7% of all PADI divers choose to support ocean protection initiatives by making a minimum donation to receive the Project AWARE version of their PADI certification card.
• AWARE cards are our largest fundraising effort.

With the 100% AWARE partnership we can make 2012 the biggest year for ocean protection! Make shark conservation and marine debris prevention a priority and become one of the first dive centres to become 100% AWARE in 2012 or one of the first divers to be certified by a 100% AWARE dive centre. Whether you're a diver or PADI Professional, supporting the 100% AWARE programme will make a difference!
