 
The Project Aware course is not aimed at divers alone but for anyone wishing to learn more about our fragile ocean and its inhabitants.
The oceans are not only a major source of food but the passive recipient of enormous amounts of wastes. According to the National Audubon Society, each year the following make their way into the seas annually:
- 100 million tons of plastics
(which take 450 years to decompose)
- 17 million tons of sewage, sludge and garbage
- 5 million tons of oil
- 19 trillion litres of toxic waste
The purpose of teaching this course is to highlight:
- the effects of marine pollution
- oil spills
- consequences of oil pollution in the ocean
- degraded marine environments
- divers protecting the marine environment
- education on sustainable seafood
- over fishing
- bycatch
- habitat destruction
- aquaculture
- how you can make a difference
- different shark species, their form & function, sensory biology, reproduction, prey capture & feeding, shark conservation, shark fear vs fact, threats facing sharks & what can be done to help
