Ghost Diving

Meet the largest and most experienced global non-profit diving organization specialized in the “ghost fishing” phenomenon with a track record in a wide variety of countries and international waters.

~ Ghost fishing is a common term that describes what happens when derelict fishing gear ‘continues to fish‘.

Ghost Diving Foundation is a registered charity established in 2012 by technical divers who specialise in removing lost fishing gear and other marine litter, taking direct action to stop pollution and protect marine life.

Ghost Diving volunteers are operating in their free time and carry out innovative and challenging nature conservation projects independent or with the help of known and unknown fellow environmental organizations. Our efforts have brought the phenomenon of “ghost fishing” to the attention of the public through key collaborations, unparalleled results and mind blowing underwater imagery.
