Wicked Diving likes to make a positive impact on the world around us and we are always looking for ways to do so. Sometimes this is simply being directly involved in the local community, or through education and outreach and sometimes it’s through direct action. It’s perfect when it is all three!

Combining with GHRE, we took an entire class of students to a local beach to talk about the effect waste has on our local foodchain, how the waste we produce does not simply disappear – and then we went to this local beach and cleaned it up.

This is not simply some project to clean a beach – we are helping these students realize that they are participating in the cycles of a local ecosystem and that their own actions can affect it, positively or negatively.

In addition we are taking our Professional level courses, in the case Divemaster Trainees, and showing that they are able to make impacts on the local communities they will live and work in after the finish their courses with us.

And – of course – we are cleaning up a beach, which is never a bad thing 🙂

GHRE is a great organization and you can learn more about them and our involvement here.

Howdy!

We started Wicked Diving (along with Karin Sundelius) as a natural extension of our passion for diving. This obsession with marine life, environmentalism, safety and service is reflected in all that we do. From our education programs & ecologically friendly dive boat  to the extensive staff training and sponsoring of the local school for children of Burmese migrant laborers. I’ve never wanted to be the biggest dive center, nor the most famous – instead all of us at Wicked Diving strive to offer the very best. We live by the golden rule – This is the dive center we would most like dive with if we were a guest. I hope you agree.
