This year, Project AWARE® turns 25! In celebration of this incredible milestone, Project AWARE launches a special edition of its annual Silent Auction.

Through this year’s auction, divers and non-divers alike, have the opportunity to bid on a wide range of amazing prizes, kindly donated by over 40 generous sponsors, to support Project AWARE’s next wave of ocean protection.

Running from October 1-31, we invite you to celebrate our Silver Jubilee and help raise funds to support our critical ocean conservation work.

As a global non-profit organisation, we rely on fundraising to carry out our important mission which is to empower people like you to be agents of positive change for the ocean.  Funds raised through the auction will go a long way toward helping implement policies to protect the most vulnerable marine species and take action - in and out of the water – for a thriving, vibrant ocean.

Over the past 25 years, the global dive community has helped Project AWARE secure historic protections for vulnerable marine species, develop the world’s first and only marine debris database with over 800k pieces of debris removed and reported from underwater environments, and teach ocean protection to scuba divers, school children, families and friends in your local communities around the world.

“Scuba Diver Mag is proud to be Project AWARE’s Media Sponsor for this special 25th Anniversary Silent Auction”, says Mark Evans, Scuba Diver Mag Editor. “With 25 years of ocean conservation successes fueled by an incredible network of supporters, we have so much to celebrate together”.
