About Seas of Opportunity Foundation
Our Mission
At Seas of Opportunity Foundation, our mission is to address the deficiency in aquatic knowledge, safety, awareness, conservation and experiences, with a strong focus on diversity, especially within underprivileged and low income communities.
Moreover, we seek to increase awareness on the effects of climate change and other impacts on aquatic environments; increase female participation in aquatic sports and activities, such as SCUBA; provide youths, individuals and families access to free water safety, swim lessons and swim instructor development; and we seek to enhance recreational diver emergency preparedness by raising awareness about the limited accessibility to hyperbaric chambers and emergency medical care through research activities, while also working to expand these resources for the benefit of recreational divers and their families.
Our Programs
We offer a variety of programs to help address the gaps in aquatic knowledge, safety, and recreational diver emergency preparedness:
- Aquatic Education with free swim lessons, swim instructor training and water safety programs to individuals of all ages, fostering water confidence and safety awareness.
- Adventure Experiences: We seek to increase diversity into the world of SCUBA by providing free introductory courses and recreational certifications with a strong focus to increase females in diving and underserved individuals and communities
- Hyperbaric Awareness: We research the effects on delayed chamber services to divers and seek to provide Technician Training to first responders ensuring access and safety to divers through hyperbaric chamber operations.
- Diver Safety: We raise awareness about the importance of recreational diver emergency preparedness through increased risk management training to recreational divers and professional instructors and facilities. Provide hyperbaric facility awareness and advocating for their availability and educating divers on accessing emergency care.
- Climate Impact: We seek to engage local communities in conservation efforts through citizen science programs, community-based monitoring and participatory decision-making processes. We partner with academic institutions, research organizations and government agencies to conduct scientific research on the impacts of climate change on aquatic ecosystems, such as, gulf reefs and others to develop innovative solutions for adaptation and mitigation.
