Conservation & Programs
The PADI Torchbearer Program
As Aqua Natives & PADI Mermaids, we encourage you to rise to the challenge of becoming a PADI Torchbearer by taking action for the planet, looking for conservation possibilities, and help lead the way to a more sustainable future. There are better and more responsible ways to live in harmony with nature. Check out the list below!
As an Advanced Mermaid you can complete the PADI Dive Against Debris Specialty! Complete the Dive Against Debris eLearning, then make a Dive Against Debris survey dive, during which you'll collect marine debris underwater. After your dive, you'll weigh, sort, record, dispose of and report your marine debris to the PADI AWARE Foundation™ database. Get in touch if you are interested in this specialty!
