We are thrilled to announce that DiveInclusive has been awarded “New Charity Initiative of the Year” at the South West England Prestige Awards 2024/2025!
This recognition is a huge milestone for us as a young charity, and it reflects the passion, commitment, and belief that every child deserves the chance to experience the magic of scuba diving.
Breaking Barriers in Scuba Diving
At DiveInclusive, our mission is simple yet powerful: to create access to scuba diving for children and young people who are often underrepresented in the sport. By removing financial and social barriers, we open the door to new opportunities, confidence-building experiences, and the joy of underwater exploration.
To be recognised for this work so early in our journey is both humbling and energising. It tells us that the need for what we do is real, and the impact is already being felt.
A Celebration of Community
This award isn’t just for us — it belongs to the families who trusted us with their children’s first underwater breaths, our supporters who have cheered us on from day one, and our sponsors and partners who share our vision.
We couldn’t have achieved this without you. Together, we’re changing perceptions of who scuba diving is for — and showing that representation matters in every space, even under the water.
What’s Next?
Winning this award motivates us to dream even bigger. From expanding our programmes for young carers, to preparing for our first overseas trip to Lanzarote in 2026, DiveInclusive is only just getting started.
We invite you to keep following our journey, get involved, and help us create more opportunities for young people to explore what’s beneath the surface.
