Dive Against Debris
Every dive can be a Dive Against Debris. Project AWARE’s flagship citizen-science program, Dive Against Debris®, empowers scuba divers to remove marine debris from the ocean and report data on the types, quantities, and locations of materials collected.

Our Adopted Site:
Alouette Lake
Alouette Lake is where it all started, it's our official adopted cleanup site with PADI Aware and BC Parks. All of the data we collect after our dives is submitted to the PADI Aware Foundation, this helps them be aware of possible threats to the ocean and waters and create changes in our dive communities around the world.
We've taken our commitment to cleaner waterways to another level by adopting a local site: Alouette Lake!
Although most of us wouldn't pick Alouette Lake as our dream dive site, it is a stunning park that attracts all sorts of people, and where people gather, trash gathers. We picked Alouette to ensure our local lake stays pristine year round.
We've started to expand our cleanup sites, we also work with Metro Vancouver and Sunnyside Campground to clean areas like , Cultus Lake, Belcarra Pier and White Pine Beach. Stay tuned for our next monthly cleanup dive location!
