### **What is a Dive Against Debris** ® **Diver?**

A Dive Against Debris Diver takes direct 'fins on' action for the ocean, collecting critical survey data from any or every dive that can be used by marine researchers and policymakers for conservation efforts.

### **Pre-Requisites**

- Minimum certification: PADI Junior Open Water Diver (or equivalent), PADI Freediver, and PADI Advanced Mermaid

- Minimum age requirement: 10 years old

- Dive Against Debris Specialty Certification

- As a one dive specialty, the Dive Against Debris course counts as an adventure dive in the [PADI Advanced Open Water Course](https://www.padi.com/courses/advanced-open-water).


### Why should you become a Dive Against Debris Diver?

Help keep your favorite dive site and local marine environment free of debris and contribute to the largest global underwater database in the world. To reduce marine debris by 50% in targeted countries by 2030, we need everyone working together at local, national and international levels. See [PADI AWARE’s Marine Debris page](https://www.padi.com/aware/marinedebris) for more information.
