Purpose Beneath the Surface.
DWP CARES brings conservation diving, science, and community together to help reefs recover.
Our story
From diving with purpose to collective action for restoring ecosystems.
DWP CARES grew from a belief that divers can do more than witness the ocean—they can help protect it. Sponsored by Diving With a Purpose, the organization turns skills, curiosity, and community into measurable conservation work.
Our programs bring together experienced leaders, citizen scientists, volunteers, and young people for coral restoration, reef monitoring, marine archaeology documentation, and ocean education.
