My name is Bob Bagdi, I have been diving since my honeymoon in 2005. My wife also now dives and we both instruct also.

I try all the time to encourage my students to purchase the Project Aware card when qualifying, because they have just qualified to dive, and they need to protect the environment that they want to visit.

The more people drop rubbish, or over-fish the seas, the less we will be able to see when we dive and want to enjoy our time in the water we love. Therefore Project Aware is majorly important to all divers, whether novice or experienced.

The more we push Project Aware, the more that can be done to protect the environment we love, and the longer we will be able to enjoy it.
