PADI Launches Global Map to Monitor Where Diving is Allowed Amid COVID-19

June 05, 2020

PADI has launched an interactive map that allows divers to easily see if diving is allowed, restricted or currently prohibited in their area because of coronavirus restrictions. The map includes a pin for every single PADI Center and Resort. If the owner has provided the information to PADI, the pin provides information about whether the business is currently open and its hours.

“As the effects of COVID-19 spreading and receding from each country evolve, local regulations adapt creating a patchwork of situations making it hard to stay up to date, even for residents in their own community,” says PADI. “This map is a great resource for information on current guidelines, any potential restrictions and special safety precautions in place to help people safely dive in again locally and across the globe.”

If you are a PADI Dive Center or Resort that would like your business availability and hours added to the map, PADI says: “Check your email for a personal link to update information for your area and business. By completing the online form using the unique link and keeping it regularly updated, you will be ensuring the most accurate information is available to divers.”

The map is continually updated to reflect the fluid nature of COVID-19 restrictions.
