Everyday divers can be ocean heroes too. The next time you complete a PADI certification course (or replace a lost certification card) you can become an ocean hero in one simple step: make a small donation to select the Project AWARE version of your card.

What happens next? You get a cool picture card to show off your support and 100 percent of your donation supports Project AWARE ocean initiatives to protect the places you love to dive.

Check out the latest in the Project AWARE certification card series for 2012. Have you ever seen such a cool card? Carrying that in your pocket book is sure to secure you all kinds of bragging rights.

Because you’re not only in the diving club, you’re part of a growing movement dedicated to a clean, healthy and abundant ocean. Your donation helps protect the world’s most threatened and endangered sharks and battle marine debris issues underwater.

To get the Project AWARE version of your PADI certification or replacement card contact your local dive center or resort. Or visit www.padi.com for more details.
