More info
Can I take this course?
You can take this course as soon as you’re a PADI (Junior) Open Water Diver.
What will I learn?
Like all PADI dive courses, the Project AWARE Dive Against Debris course is comprised of 2 elements: 1. Knowledge Development - required 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 The Dive Bus monthly clean up events to find the date that suits you best. Dates don't work? We'll make an extra Clean Up dive for you, no worries. Here's what you'll cover in the Knowledge Developmentt 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
- how 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!)
