Project AWARE’s flagship citizen-science program, Dive Against Debris®, empowers scuba divers to remove marine debris from the ocean and report data on the types, quantities and locations of materials collected. Since the program’s launch in 2011, almost than 50,000 divers have participated in Dive Against Debris in 114 countries around the world, reporting over 1 million pieces of trash. As the only underwater debris data collection program of its kind, Dive Against Debris both improves the health of ocean ecosystems through localized volunteer efforts and provides valuable information about underwater debris to help inform policy change.

This project is organized by Red Sea Resort Dive Instructors 2018 and sponsored by Sheraton Jeddah Hotel, Red Sea Resort, Red Sea Marina, Desert Sea Divers, NATLUS Dive Center, Taif Titans and Giant Stride Dive Tribe.
