Without water our planet would be just one of the billions of lifeless rocks floating endlessly in the black void that is our universe. In reality, 70% of our planet is covered in water and as such 90% of the world’s biodiversity resides in the oceans.
Our everyday lives affect the oceans and the water cycle more than we could imagine. From agriculture to plastics washing up on the sea shore, our actions affect the health of the seas and oceans.
The PADI Project AWARE specialty course aims to inform students about the vastness, the biodiversity, productivity and importance of the world’s oceans. It also aims to improve student attitudes to the way in which we think about the current plight of the seas and how we all can help reduce our own ecological footprint.
