As a scuba diver, the ocean is your playground. You come face to face with some of the world’s most beautiful creatures and their habitats. But you can also recognize when something has gone wrong. You are witness to problems such as ocean pollution, bleached coral, and fewer wildlife sightings.

Oceana is working hard to curb the effects that overfishing, destructive fishing practices, climate change and pollution have on our oceans. We want to make sure sharks, coral reefs and sea turtles don’t disappear. But we can’t do it alone.

Oceana is partnering with the increasingly active and effective dive community in real in-the-water conservation efforts. Check out the terrific clubs, companies and organizations in the diving community who are working with us to protect the oceans.

You can make a difference for the better, both in the water and out. Divers can conduct coral reef and fish surveys, organize ocean clean-ups, and advocate for aquatic habitats, marine wildlife and sustainable fisheries.

You can start by joining Oceana—the largest international organization focused 100 percent on ocean conservation—in the fight for healthy oceans. Be more than a diver – be an Oceana Wavemaker. Sign up today and be the first to know when the oceans need your help.
