SPECIALTY DIVER SERIES
Project AWARE
You do NOT need to be a certified diver, and there is NO minimum age to take the Project AWARE
course. If you want to learn about the plight of worldwide aquatic ecosystems and how you can
protect them, this Specialty course is for you. This non-diving Specialty course may also be
conducted in conjunction with other PADI Specialty Diver courses.
You'll learn about aquatic ecosystem degradation and the conservation measures protecting
aquatic resources. This includes:
The Project AWARE philosophy
The importance and interdependence of worldwide aquatic ecosystems
Current issues regarding fisheries, coastal zone management and marine pollution
The status of several critically degraded marine environments
How participants can help, including responsible diving and snorkeling practices
The Project AWARE Specialty course certification counts as one of five Specialty certifications
required for your Master Scuba Diver certification.
