Diving and youth: how to build a community of divers

Youth are the ones most able to change the culture of our relationship with the sea and build a better future for the sport of diving.

Why youth matter in diving

A young person who starts diving in their twenties carries this sport for decades. They are also the most open to learning environmental values.

Building a community of divers

• Join a club or dive group in your city
• Share your experiences on social media in an inspiring way
• Teach a beginner friend what you learned and take responsibility for their development

Diving as a social value

A diver who cleans a beach after their trip gives a living example. A diver who refuses to pick up a shell from the sea teaches the environmental value by action.

Social networks for divers

WhatsApp groups and electronic dive forums allow learning from everyone and sharing knowledge quickly.

The environmentally aware young diver is the real hope for preserving our seas for coming generations.
