The environmentally conscious diver: principles and practices

Every diver has a real environmental responsibility and can make a difference in protecting what he loves.

Principles of environmental diving

Only take photos
Do not remove anything from the marine environment. Even an empty shell is home to small creatures.

Leaves only bubbles
Leaves no trace in the marine environment. Take everything you brought with you.

Your role as an observer and eye in the field

Divers form a natural monitoring network for the marine environment. If you see pollution or illegal fishing, report it to the competent authorities immediately.

Participation in sea cleaning initiatives

Sea bottom cleaning trips are regularly organized by diving centers. Participating in it is a pleasure and a duty at the same time.

Environmental awareness outside water

• Share photos that document the beauty of the sea and inspire people to protect it
• Teach the children around you to respect the sea
• Avoid harmful chemical oil products before diving

Boycott as a tool

Avoid purchasing marine products from unsustainable sources. Your consumer decisions shape the market.
