IADP Projects & Initiatives

Core projects building the association’s capacity, public role, environmental work, professional services, and long-term industry influence.

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.

Field Deployment

GoBlu3

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.

Sector Voice & Media

DeeperCurrents

It provides a credible and independent platform for professional insight, free from commercial influence and aligned with the broader interests of the diving sector.
