Green Divers for Blue Oceans®

Commit to Sustainable Diving

Advancing Ocean Conservation on Every Dive

We believe divers possess a unique and meaningful connection to the ocean and its incredible diversity of marine life. So much so, our Green Divers for Blue Oceans® program was inspired by our board members' shared passion for scuba diving. We know that divers experience and understand the ocean in ways most people don’t. As leading ocean conservation policy makers, we intuitively share the dive community’s unshakeable connection and moral imperative to take action and address changes in ocean health.

Coare knows that divers can be powerful advocates for conservation. Through our Green Divers for Blue Oceans® program, we promote sustainable practices for environmental stewardship throughout the diving community. By providing the expertise, resources, and knowledge to support sustainable diving, we engage divers and empower the dive community to embrace our philosophy around a shared environmental responsibility. As the ocean and the issues it faces change, so do our recommendations to reflect the latest data, science, and insights.

Our Green Divers for Blue Oceans® program closely and inclusively collaborates with divers, dive organizations, shops, and businesses, along with universities, and the scientific community to support their ocean conservation efforts. By generating engaged, highly skilled, and sustainably minded divers, we’re creating the next generation of ocean ambassadors and volunteers around the world to assist them. With your support and participation, we can advance this global movement committed to sustainable diving and making a lasting impact on ocean health.

What you can do to help

  • When diving, seek non-threatening interactions with sharks and other animals. Your tourist dollars help affirm to the local economy the value of living creatures.
  • Don't touch marine wildlife or coral, and be careful not to kick up the bottom or disturb habitats.
  • Remember to bring and use reusable water bottles and containers
  • Avoid single-use materials
  • Be a role model for conservation practices
