Scuba dives are so much more fun if you have a mission. The mission of the Dive Against Debris diver is to safely remove and collect data on the trash that we find in our ocean.
Marine debris refers to trash discarded by humans: plastic, glass, aluminum cans, fishing nets, etc.
We can reduce the damage caused by removing this debris and creating a healthier ocean.
The Dive Against Debris Course will teach you to plan scuba dives to remove underwater debris and the decision making process to only remove certain items.
It will also be a learning experience to make you realise how much trash is in our oceans today. You will also collect data for global use to push for changes in regulations by governments to reduce debris in our oceans.

PREREQUISITES
Before beginning any of our marine conservation courses including the Dive Against Debris, we need you to be a PADI Advanced Open Water Diver with a Peak Performance Specialty certification.
We want to conduct our marine conservation with no damaging impact to the coral reefs, so we need our divers to have ultimate buoyancy.
If you do not have these certifications, you can take these short courses before you start your Dive Against Debris Course, and boost your underwater skills.
