How Learning to Dive Can Help Save the Oceans

By becoming a scuba diver, by learning to dive as either as a PADI Scuba Diver or PADI Open Water Diver. You get to step into the underwater world and explore places which you would otherwise not be able to see. While this an amazing experience, which you can do any day at any time, it’s also the most relaxing way to observe life under the waves. It also provides you the key skills to protect marine life and environment.

Here are the five top ways learning to dive can help you save the ocean.

1. You have an extra awareness to the oceans and the potential problems.

Perhaps the most impactful part of taking the PADI Open Water Diver course is getting in the water and seeing the underwater world first hand, creating memories, understanding and experience from your visits. These experiences help you to develop passion, motivation, and love for such an amazing place, meaning you just want to protect the oceans, where and whenever possible!

Emma Daffurn, PADI Corporate Social Responsibility Specialist, said, “If everyone on this planet could just do one dive, I believe it could fundamentally change how humanity interacts with the natural world.”

But it’s not only about the good stuff. In addition to beauty, time in the water will also give you first-hand experience seeing some of the real-life issues facing the oceans, such as coral bleaching, plastic pollution (and other types of pollution) as well as habitat destruction.

2. Learn Best Practices for Underwater Exploration

On your PADI Open Water Diver course, you are taught the best practices for observing and exploring the underwater world. From never touching marine life to minimizing contact with the seafloor, these guidelines help promote respect for the environment and better understand why and how this unique place needs protecting – even during recreational diving.

3. Make Connections

The diving community is full of people who want to save and protect the ocean. Completing the Open Water Diver course gives you access to like-minded people who can help you make a difference, either in a personal or professional capacity. Completing your PADI Open Water Diver course could be the first step into a career in scuba diving during which you help to protect the ocean daily.

4. Become an Ambassador for the Ocean

As a qualified Open Water Diver, you’ll be able to show and tell friends, family and the world all about the amazing world that exists underwater as well as the threats it faces. As an honorary ambassador for the ocean, you’ll possess new knowledge and power to share stories, pictures and experiences, increasing awareness while also inspiring and motivating others to join the fight to protect the ocean.

5. Gain the Know-How to Partake in environmental protection projects.

An Open Water Diver certification does more than just let you recreationally scuba dive to 60 feet (18 meters). Once you are certified as a PADI Diver, you’ll be able to sign up for a whole range of marine conservation projects, such as underwater clean-ups, coral restoration projects and marine animal protection missions. These individual projects are part of a larger plan to save the ocean.

So, if you are ready to step up and help save the ocean, you can take the first step by signing up for your PADI Open Water Diver course here.
