CELEBRATING 30 YEARS AS A PADI 5 STAR DIVE CENTER IN CARTAGENA…
In 2025, thanks to our divers, friends, allies, and team, we celebrate 30 years of exploration, conservation, and sustainable diving as Colombia’s first PADI 5-Star Dive Center.
Thank you for being part of this incredible journey and for supporting our mission.
Your passion inspires us to keep leading regenerative tourism, bringing the ocean’s magic to people with disabilities and exploring our blue planet in a way that’s thrilling, fun, and always safe.
THE PAST, IN ICONS OF OUR HISTORY
1995: DIVING PLANET IS BORN AS "ECOBUZOS"
The dream of a group of marine biologists became Colombia’s first PADI 5-Star Dive Center, which would later evolve into Diving Planet.
1996: FIRST DAY OF UNDERWATER CLEANING
An initiative that was, at the time, the largest marine conservation event in the country, removing 7 tons of waste with the support of more than 100 volunteers.
1997 FIRST REPRODUCTION EVENT
With the first observation of coral spawning, we began our journey into sexual reproduction in reefs, guided by marin biologist Elvira Alvarado.
1998-2025 CONSERVATION ACTIONS.
Since 1998, we have led continuous marine conservation efforts, including mooring buoys, species monitoring, and lionfish control.
2006 FIRST ADAPTIVE DIVING DAY
The first 40 people with disabilities experienced a “no limits” adventure through our adaptive diving program, thanks to Jeannette Perry de Saravia, director of CIREC
2008 NATIONAL CORAL REEF DAY
We led the creation of Colombia’s National Coral Reef Day, supported by the Ministry of Environment and our campaign: “Bringing Color Back to Corals.”
2016 OUR FOUNDATION IS FORMALLY BORN.
A non-profit initiative is born, supported by Diving Planet, now known as DIVE TO HEAL, focused on coral restoration and adaptive diving.
2022 THE FIRST CORAL BABIES ARE BORN
As part of an interdisciplinary team, we transplanted the first “coral babies” to the reefs and continue the restoration without interruption.

PROTECTING THE FUTURE
By co-creating Coraltheca, the first coral rescue and sexual reproduction center, we commit to one of the most ambitious coral restoration efforts in the country.
REGENERATIVE ADVENTURES
Through citizen science, Diving Planet will be a “factory of underwater experiences”, where divers worldwide enjoy unforgettable adventures while supporting regenerative tourism.
