To complete your adventure planning, the auction also includes outdoor sports equipment from a stand-up paddle board to a sports watch and specialty knives.
“We are deeply grateful for the support of this year’s Official Sponsors, SSI, SCUBA Show, DAN, Liveaboard.com, and Classified Diving and to all who kindly donated to our 2024 auction fundraiser. Without the dive and adventure travel community’s dedication to conservation and their generosity, this amazing auction, and the critical conservation it will fund would not be possible,” said Samantha Whitcraft, the Foundation’s Executive Director. “We are so excited to work, again, with Doug McNeese, SSI President of International Business Development and so many conservationists working to preserve our coral reefs, terrestrial ecosystems, and threatened species,” says Wayne Brown, Aggressor Adventures® CEO and Board Chair of the Foundation. “Please join us and our Official 2024 Sponsors in raising funds by bidding in the auction or by donating to help support the Foundation’s excellent work supporting innovative, community-based conservation projects around the world.”
