Blue Planet Scuba + PADI AWARE
The PADI AWARE Foundation is a non-profit aimed at driving local action for global ocean conservation. Each September, PADI hosts AWARE Week, in which people are encouraged to partake in conservation activities with their local dive shops.
This year Blue Planet Scuba decided to take AWARE Week one step further and host a year-long challenge to incentivize taking action for conservation! Starting September 16, 2023, you can earn points for a number of different activities included classes, cleanups and more. The person who earns the most points by September 3, 2024 will win a trip to Cozumel with Blue Planet!!!
To enter, complete this online form and we’ll add your name to the Leaderboard below. Any time you complete an activity for which you can earn points, submit the form and we’ll update your point count below.
