As part of the PADI Divemaster Program, Sunshine Divers implements the Project Aware – Marine Debri Specialty program within the curriculum. Every Divemaster Candidate has to be involved in at least 3 Ecological activities.

PADI and Project Aware have several programs available including: Project AWARE Specialty Course, Marine Debri Specialty Course, Shark Conservation Awareness Specialty Course and The Coral Reef Conservation Course.

On a regular basis we offer Land and Underwater Clean up dives so that our Candidates may learn more about the environment they are diving in during their time on the island, and also focus on ways to pass on their knowledge to other divers and the local community.

Gage Coon – currently a PADI Divemaster Candidate took part in the underwater clean up on Sairee Beach, West Coast Beach on Koh Tao where he co-ordinated the dive with guest divers, collected trash from around the dive site and once on the boat – recorded the items collected.

Great work Gage – let’s continue to keep our oceans clean!
