Every dive center has the chance to be more than a place where people get certified — it can be the doorway into the world’s most powerful force for ocean conservation. That’s what 100% AWARE is about, and this year, becoming a partner is more rewarding than ever.
How It Works
Becoming a 100% AWARE Partner enrolls you in an exclusive program with PADI AWARE Foundation®. You commit through a monthly or yearly donation, and PADI AWARE equips you with marketing materials, digital assets and activation support to start promoting monthly giving in your business.
Every diver or customer you sign up as a monthly donor receives a thank-you gift and joins a growing community of ocean advocates — a force for change for the underwater world.
Refer 10 or more monthly donors and your dive center’s financial commitment is waived for the following year.
What You Get
- A limited-edition PADI AWARE digital certification card for every diver certified through your store
- Recognition, rewards and future membership incentives for your center
- Increased visibility on the PADI Dive Store Locator
- The 100% AWARE Partner quarterly newsletter and updates
- Support from your regional PADI AWARE representative
- Priority access to host PADI AWARE travel and donor events
As a 100% AWARE Partner, you’re consistently advancing the joint PADI & PADI AWARE Blueprint for Ocean Action — proof that local action adds up to global impact.
Good To Know
From 1 January 2027, the minimum annual commitment for 100% AWARE Partners will be US $100 a month or US $1,000 a year.
