Formed by the National Association of Underwater Instructors (NAUI Worldwide), in association with the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund, the Green Diver Initiative is an online community dedicated to the principles espoused in the Green Diver P.A.C.T. (Practising Aquatic Conservation Together).

As the official diver training organization of Walt Disney World® Resort, we also present the following programs in conjunction with Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund  in Florida, USA: Disney's Dolphins in Depth, Epcot® Seas Aqua Tour, Epcot® DiveQuest (The Seas with Nemo & Friends at Epcot®) and the Adopt-a-Nest program (Disney's Vero Beach Resort and Disney's Animal Kingdom® Theme Park). Before, during and after these experiences, guests learn about how the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund is making a difference and are eligible to join the Green Diver Initiative

The Green Diver Initiative is intended to empower individuals who, through their initiative, discover how they can make a difference – no matter how seemingly insignificant.

When shared with the community, the seemingly insignificant  can add up to phenomenal impacts. Individual GDI members may be environmental activists or just beach walkers, but they share a common concern for the vitality of the aquatic world.

Accept the challenge and join the Green diver Initiative now. Find out how others are making a difference and share your own discoveries – whether or not you are a certified diver. It is easy and FREE to join! Make the Green Diver Pact, create a personal profile, set up a personal Green Diver web page and start sharing your efforts today!

GREEN DIVER INITIATIVE P.A.C.T.

(Practising Aquatic Conservation Together)

As a NAUI Green Dive, I will:

• Promote environmental awareness and help others see how aquatic ecosystems interrelate and how human actions can disrupt or preserve them.
• Practice and foster positive impact diving behavior and minimal impact water skills.
• Model my own behavior to be true to this pledge, including proper disposal of refuse and not taking souvenirs or molesting aquatic life.
• Help others to fine-tune their water skills to minimize damage to aquatic life.
• Promote aquatic conservation activities and continue my education through participation in such programs.
• Look for opportunities to do little things that benefit the aquatic environment and share them with my fellow Green Divers so that together we can have a greater positive impact.
• Use my Green Diver log to keep track of the refuse that I remove from aquatic environments.
• Encourage others to become members of the Green Diver Initiative and strive to convince everyone to adopt the principles of green diving.
• Choose service providers who participate in the Green Diver Initiative and display the Green Diver Initiative logo.
