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!!!

Prizes include:
First Place: Cozumel Trip for 1 (on one of our scheduled group trips by the end of 2025)
We are adding additional prizes! Check back soon...
