Our Partners
Sea Shepherd Conservation Society
We support our friends at Sea Shepard and promote the concept of reduce, reuse, recycle with the use of repurposed weights recovered from ghost nets pulled from the Sea of Cortez.
Ghost nets are responsible for trapping and killing millions of marine animals including sharks, rays, turtles, dolphins, and whales. After removal, the lead is melted down and recast into scuba diving weights.
YMCA
We are proud to partner with the YMCA of San Diego to offer pool sessions to our students.
The YMCA of San Diego County is dedicated to improving the quality of human life and to helping all people realize their fullest potential. We are proud to support their mission while fostering a new generation of passionate scuba divers.
Gili Shark Preservation
The Gili Shark Conservation Project is an award-winning conservation and data collection program and the first of its kind in the Gili Islands in Indonesia.
Fueled by a passion for shark research, we assisted in the dedication of a unique marine protected area. Working alongside local fisherman, we provided educational opportunities to shifting their perspective on shark finning practices to the importance of ecotourism, ensuring this keystone species’ future.
