Win the career opportunity of a lifetime by donating to Project AWARE
Scuba diving is your passion, but with the right training, it could also be your dream job. GVI’s Dive Academy is offering a 30-week program in Mexico, where you will receive world-class, professional-level training to become a highly skilled and specialized instructor, as well as extensive marine-conservation training. And the best part? GVI have just launched a contest where, by making a donation to Project AWARE, you could get this incredible opportunity (worth $17,490) – and more – for free.
The contest directly benefits Project AWARE and is sponsored by GVI, a multi-award-winning social enterprise that runs high-impact volunteer programs and PADI, the world’s biggest scuba diver training organization.
To enter the contest, visit the contest page at prizeaid.com and:
- Donate $10 to get 5 chances to win plus a Thank You Email from the Founder of Project AWARE
- Donate $20 to get 10 chances to win. You will also receive 10% off any GVI Marine Program booked before 20th Dec 2014 and $500 off any GVI Dive Academy Program.
- Donate $50 to get 35 chances to win. You will also receive $20 off any PADI e-learning course, as well as the discounts listed above.
Project AWARE currently focuses on two key movements: Marine Debris and Sharks in Peril. While there are many issues surrounding ocean protection, concentrating on two major issues helps to maximize campaign efforts and positively affect long-term change. By visiting the contest page and donating to Project AWARE, you’ll get the chance to win cool prizes and the experience of a lifetime, and you’ll also help protect the oceans you love so much.
The contest closes on the 8th December 2014 – so what are you waiting for? Enter the contest today by donating $10, $20 or $50 to Project AWARE via the Prize Aid contest page, and you could be jetting off to start the career adventure of a lifetime with GVI’s Dive Academy.

Over the next 12 months, specialist scuba holiday company Dive Worldwide will be supporting Bite-Back Shark & Marine Conservation with donations collected from client bookings to any one of its stunning dive destinations around the world. The independently-owned operator expects to raise £3000 for the UK charity.
Manager at Dive Worldwide, Phil North, said: “We’re especially excited to work with Bite-Back and support its intelligent, creative and results-driven campaigns to end the UK trade in shark products and prompt a change in attitudes to the ocean’s most maligned inhabitant.”
Bite-Back is running campaigns to hold the media to account on the way it reports shark news along with a brand new nationwide education programme. Last year the charity was credited for spearheading a UK ban on the import and export of shark fins.
Campaign director at Bite-Back, Graham Buckingham, said: “We’re enormously grateful to Dive Worldwide for choosing to support Bite-Back. The company’s commitment to conservation helps set it apart from other tour operators and we’re certain its clients admire and respect that policy. For us, the affiliation is huge and helps us look to the future with confidence we can deliver against key conservation programmes.”
To launch the fundraising initiative, Phil North presented Graham Buckingham with a cheque for £1,000.
Visit Dive Worldwide to discover its diverse range of international scuba adventures and visit Bite-Back to learn more about the charity’s campaigns.
