Dive Club Northern Ireland is excited to announce their upcoming Dive Against Debris Speciality Course, brought to you in collaboration with Project AWARE. This unique course aims to raise awareness among divers about the pressing issue of marine debris and its devastating impact on our oceans and communities.
During the course, divers will receive valuable education on how to effectively remove debris underwater and report their findings. By actively participating in this initiative, divers not only contribute to the improvement of the underwater habitat but also play a vital role in addressing the global marine debris crisis.
Marine debris encompasses a wide range of trash, including plastics, glass, aluminium cans, and fishing nets. By learning how to identify and remove these materials from the depths, divers become true caretakers of the underwater world.
Furthermore, divers who complete the Dive Against Debris Speciality Course will gain a deeper understanding of ocean pollution and its profound impact on our precious ecosystem. To further showcase their contributions, participating divers will have the opportunity to visualise their efforts on the interactive Dive Against Debris Map.
If you already possess the Dive Against Debris Speciality certification or are taking a break from diving, fear not! You can still contribute to this important cause by making a donation to support Project AWARE or by ordering a striking limited-edition replacement certification card.
The course, which spans just one day, includes the hire of basic equipment, an experienced instructor to guide you, and a well-deserved certification card upon completion. To ensure you get the most out of this experience, it is recommended that you complete the pre-study materials, which can be conveniently downloaded from our website.
It is significant to note that participants must report their survey online in English to contribute to the global database. By doing so, you play an active role in generating valuable data that aids in the worldwide effort to combat marine debris.
In addition to the Dive Against Debris Speciality Course, Dive Club Northern Ireland also offers a range of other courses related to this significant cause. Prices for these courses may vary, depending on the specific program.
