The IADP is developing and running a set of core projects that strengthen the association, build its internal capacity, and extend its role across the wider diving and marine sector. These initiatives form the operational backbone of the organization, combining institutional development, field deployment, and independent sector intelligence to support the long-term evolution of a stronger, more unified profession.
Institutional Development
These projects focus on building the internal structure of the IADP: governance, systems, membership, and operational continuity. Together, they establish the foundation required for long-term stability, credibility, and global coordination across all areas of the profession.

GoBlu3 is the IADP’s field-action and restoration framework. It connects ecosystem recovery with practical deployment, professional involvement, and real-world relevance for coastal communities.
It moves beyond isolated conservation efforts by integrating environmental, social, and economic dimensions into a structured approach for marine restoration and development.
DeeperCurrents
A stronger profession requires a stronger independent voice. DeeperCurrents is the IADP’s media and sector-intelligence initiative, focused on journalism, reporting, and long-form industry analysis.
It provides a credible and independent platform for professional insight, free from commercial influence and aligned with the broader interests of the diving sector.
Country Reports
Country Reports provide independent, field-based intelligence on the diving profession at national level, structured around all 10 IADP industry sectors.
Each report assesses training pathways, regulatory frameworks, operational realities, environmental pressures, infrastructure, and market conditions, offering a complete and integrated view of the profession within a country.
The pilot phase focuses on Venezuela, Colombia, Curaçao, and Bonaire, establishing a comparative intelligence base for the Southern Caribbean.
