WE LOVE THIS PLACE!

At Northwest Dive Adventures, we believe that once you encounter the beauty, mystery, and complexity of the Puget Sound first hand, your relationship with the ocean changes. You will have a new desire to learn more about all of your new finny, and not so finny, friends and their home. As you spend time exploring the ocean and increasing your knowledge on what you encounter, you will want to share your story and bring others along with you on your journey. Your relationship with the ocean will continue to grow and you will learn to love the ocean as much as we do here at Northwest Dive Adventures. We hope you will want to advocate for the ocean and join us as we work to conserve and protect what we have for generations to come.

Improving the health of the Puget Sound is at the very heart of why we are here. Northwest Dive Adventures aims to provide our divers with the knowledge, gear, community, and opportunities to take action supporting the various community science initiatives; aiming to improve ocean health. The actions you will take directly support the larger goals of the world wide dive community. Sign up below to join the dive club to take your next step!

our initiatives

Rid the ocean of marine debris

We work to remove and mitigate the estimated 8M tons of plastic emitted into the ocean every year through education, advocacy and actions such as PADI's Dive Against Debris dives and beach cleanups.

Increase and support our marine protected areas

We support the diving communities efforts to protect 30% of our ocean by 2030 including PADI's Adopt a Site program.

Protect our vulnerable species

We work to monitor changes to biodiversity in our local waters through education and actions such as Reef Environment Education Foundation (REEF) and reporting on specific species of interest like the sunflower sea star.

Restoration of eelgrass and kelp beds

We support the diving community's effort to accelerate the restoration of coral reefs and are working to align with partner organizations focused on restoration of eelgrass and kelp beds here in the Puget Sound which serve as the nursery for many of our finny friends.

Reduce greenhouse gas emissions

We work to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of the dive industry through education, advocacy, providing exciting local diving opportunities, and engaging in local "Blue Carbon" initiatives.
