PADI ECO Centre and Green Fins
​The PADI Eco Centre level is awarded to PADI dive centres and resorts dedicated to environmental protection and sustainability in the diving industry.
Through the Adopt the Blue programme, we actively promote marine biodiversity and community resilience, addressing the challenges affecting our oceans and offering our divers the opportunity to participate in direct environmental conservation actions.
In collaboration with PADI partners and the Reef-World Foundation's Green Fins initiative, we have made substantial changes to our facilities to educate staff and reduce the environmental impact of our operations, making sustainability a core value.
