Turtle Dive participates in the PADI
‘Adopt The Blue’ program!

PADI and Blancpain (Official Partner of the ‘PADI Blueprint for Ocean Action’ and founding partner of the PADI Marine Protected Areas Program and ADOPT THE BLUE) are working together with local communities around the world to accelerate the creation of marine protected areas. At the heart of the multi-year partnership is the flagship ‘Adopt The Blue’ program, where 6,600 registered PADI Dive Centers and Resorts are developing the largest network of marine protected areas on the planet, enabling millions of PADI recreational divers to actively engage in marine conservation at every opportunity.

To support this program, we have decided to manage our inner reef ‘Turtle Reef’ and take active measures to protect and conserve it. We look forward to your support.
