Divers on the frontlines
of climate change
Divers for Climate’s Summer of Solidarity campaign is timed for the 2025–2026 summer—a season predicted to bring another round of record-breaking marine heatwaves, following the largest ever experienced last year. For many in our community, this summer carries a sense of anxiety and uncertainty - we are on the frontline of a rapidly changing climate.
This campaign is about turning that anxiety into collective action, and using this pivotal moment to showcase Divers for Climate’s new strategy. The Summer Solidarity Sprint unfolds over 90 days, combining national storytelling with local action.
Each month will spotlight a different impact of marine heatwaves, through a consistent mix of education, engagement, and storytelling: coral bleaching, algal blooms, floods & severe weather, and shifting species.

NAtional Survey
In 2025, hundreds of divers from around Australia shared their firsthand experiences of climate change and their vision for the future.
This report brings those voices together to show who these divers are, what they are seeing, and the systemic change they want to drive forward. It highlights how the dive community can play a critical role in shaping public understanding and informing stronger climate policy at all levels.
Dive In Solidarity
Divers are experiencing a wider pattern of climate-driven ocean change, from coral bleaching on the Great Barrier Reef to disappearing kelp forests in the south. Divers are among the first to see these impacts and among the most trusted voices to communicate them.
Stand in solidarity with communities feeling the impacts firsthand. Raise the alarm on marine heatwaves and their cascading effects.
