DIVE AGAINST DEBRIS Learn how to make a positive impact on all of your dive trips!

The PADI Dive Against Debris Course

Make your dives count! Learn how to conduct your own dives against debris.

The Fun Part

We first find a site that has debris. Then we go about planning our attack and figuring our how to remove what we can. Cataloguing what we find is where we see the true impact of our efforts immediately.
