Our Purpose

TO CREATE MEANING THROUGH DIVING

As ocean-centric explorers, Ascension Scuba Travel Divers pledge to conduct each dive with, at minimum, sustainability and stewardship in mind. Whether it be by going in with the intention of collecting trash on the reef that day, collecting seagrass or coral data as a team for research, or wearing gear that is made with recycled or upcycled materials, these dedicated divers will set themselves apart from the mainstream. Committing to promote ocean biodiversity and health is our purpose while strategically hosting retreats that form a scalable impact.

As Ascension Travel Divers, we will journey together for a week of immersive learning. Joshua and River will be your personal Instructor and Divemaster, teaching you throughout your PADI Certification Course. Then the group will explore local dive sites with an expert local dive guide to take advantage of your new dive knowledge. Learn about inhabitants and the ecological impact you can make.

Upon graduation, you are invited to make the Ascension Scuba Travel Diver pledge and join our amazing community of ocean protectors. We encourage all who graduate with us to continue to spread the word about what we can do to help the oceans together. As a member of our community, you are required to set a minimum of one goal for strategic impactful action and keep others and yourself accountable. No act is too small. One by one, as each of us participates in the life-long pursuit of doing what we can to make the oceans a better place. it can and will be done.

Fulfilling this mission means there is much to consider aside from diving alone. We must become experts in the barriers to entry that our clients have when dealing with the ocean. We must trace fears, remove obstacles, and kindle relationships between people and the fearsome ocean, so they emerge inspired to make it their mission to protect it. It's our purpose and responsibility to bring health and wellness in balance to this great charge.
