What is
DiveInclusive?
Welcome to DiveInclusive, where we believe the underwater world should be open and accessible to everyone. DiveInclusive was created to offer children from underrepresented communities the opportunity to explore the sport of scuba diving in a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment. Through our financial sponsorships, we aim to remove the cost barrier, ensuring that these transformative experiences are within reach.
Our Mission
At DiveInclusive, we break down the barriers that have traditionally excluded ethnic minority children from experiencing the wonders of scuba diving. By financially sponsoring scuba diving sessions and courses from renowned organizations like PADI, we provide opportunities for young adventurers to explore the magic of the underwater world. These programs are designed to foster personal growth, confidence, and environmental awareness, giving children the chance to build lifelong connections with the ocean.

Why
DiveInclusive?
Scuba diving, like many water sports, has historically seen underrepresentation from ethnic minority communities. Several factors contribute to this, such as financial barriers and a lack of exposure to these activities. DiveInclusive was created to address these gaps, providing children from underrepresented backgrounds the opportunity to explore scuba diving in a safe and supportive environment.
Our goal is not only to introduce children to the sport but also to inspire confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love for the ocean. By promoting and sponsoring courses from globally recognized organizations like PADI, we ensure that these kids gain both experience and a meaningful qualification that can open doors for future underwater exploration.
DiveInclusive believes that every child should have the opportunity to dive, regardless of background or financial circumstances. Through our sponsorships, we hope to inspire a new generation of divers who reflect the diversity of our society, building a more inclusive diving community from the ground up.

Why DiveInclusive?
DiveInclusive was born from my own personal experience as a scuba diver where I have ALWAYS stood out as the only diver from an ethnic minority background in literally every activity, I have been involved in to date. From my certification courses to dive trips within the UK and beyond, it has always been the same experience. Diving wasn’t anything I actively went after. I literally stumbled on it during a holiday in Cape Verde where a try dive was advertised at my resort.
And so I thought to myself to just do it as a bucket list item, get some nice underwater pictures and be done with it. But as soon as I made my first ever descent below the sea to about 5meters, I was sold! There was no turning back for me. That was 2018. Years on & about 5 dive certifications later, I’m fully convinced that if I can enjoy the sport this much, there surely will be others out there from similar background who would do too. And So I decided to do something about it & where better to start than with kids?
