Dive For Purpose

This year, through「The Descent Mission #DiveForPurpose」charity campaign, we bring several well-known influencers across Asia together to actively take actions to support LAMAVE and marine conservation. With the goal of sustainability, we give Descent MK2 SERIES to the influencers in exchange of their participation to donate DESCENT MK1 for the charity auction. All the funds raised goes to LAMAVE.


Your donation will directly support LAMAVE’s marine research and conservation projects.


Together with your help we are securing a future for marine megafauna in Southeast Asia.
