Go Eco! Dive and Live with Purpose This April

This April is about simple actions that add up above and below the surface.  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌    You already care about the ocean. That’s why you’re here – Thank you! This April, we’re inviting you to take that commitment one step further with Go Eco! which is a global movement focused on two powerful pillars: ocean conservation and sustainable diving. The ocean is facing real pressures. But divers are in a unique position to help. Every dive you take, every trip you plan, and every operator you choose adds up. However, it does not even start there. Some of the biggest impacts on the ocean happen nowhere near the water. Find out how small choices can make a big impact – above and below the surface and get easy tips to make a difference.

Better buoyancy helps you: Avoid contact with fragile environments Control fins, gauges, and cameras Stay still and observe without disturbance There are other skills and considerations too that help minimize your impact underwater.   Learn How to Minimize Your Impact   Here’s how you can get involved this month:   Dive with a PADI Eco Center and support sustainability in action Strengthen your impact with conservation-focused dive courses Joining citizen science initiatives using the Conservation Action Portal  to contribute valuable data Make some small habit changes in your day to day life and when travelling.
