Aggressor Adventures’ Director of Conservation and Outreach Samantha Whitcraft has won DEMA’S 2020 Wave Maker Award.
Whitcraft has extensive experience in pioneering environmental change through creating and executing successful sustainability efforts.
The Wave Makers Award recognizes professionals who have been working in the dive industry for five years or less and have made a significant contribution to the industry during that time.
One of her most impressive feats with Aggressor was the creation of its Green the Fleet sustainability initiative, expanding and formalizing all existing green operations. This included developing an extensive company-wide guide around environmental best practices for all destinations and corporate headquarters.
According to Aggressor Chairman and CEO Wayne Brown:
“Aggressor’s core values and successes are a direct reflection of our employees, and this award shines a light on the time and energy Samantha spends leading many of Aggressor’s most impactful sustainability efforts. We could not be more ecstatic for this well-deserved recognition.”
Whitcraft joined Aggressor Adventures in December 2016. She also leads the Sea of Change Foundation as its executive director.
