All issued certifications are presented in the PADI AWARE design, highlighting our dive community's commitment to environmental protection.
1. Support with Every Course
With every course we offer, we support the PADI AWARE organization. Our students not only gain the knowledge and skills needed for diving but also receive a PADI AWARE certification, reflecting their commitment to environmental protection.
2. PADI AWARE Events
In addition, we organize PADI AWARE-themed events at each location every year. In 2024, we hosted three PADI AWARE Nights with a total of over 50 participants.
Check out a few blogs about our events here:

Let’s Dive Against Debris
We also schedule several PADI AWARE courses each year, which are open to non-divers as well.
3. Training to become a PADI Dive Against Debris Diver
Every PADI Advanced Open Water student is automatically trained as a PADI Dive Against Debris Diver. This way, our students not only learn how to enjoy their dives, but also how to actively contribute to cleaning our waters.
After each Dive Against Debris dive, the collected waste is gathered, weighed, recorded, and properly documented.
Want to see how much waste TSK has already collected? Here you can find all the data from TSK's Clean Up Dives as part of PADI Dive Against Debris.
4. Clean-Up Actions
We are also actively involved in various large Clean-Up actions every year. Together with volunteers and divers, we work to remove waste from our waters and raise awareness about the issue of pollution.
