We make our living from the ocean. Looking after it shouldn't be an extra — it should simply be part of how we dive.
Protecting a reef is easier when you don't damage it in the first place.
For us, conservation starts with the ordinary dive day: good buoyancy, good trim, no touching, no poking, no chasing, no feeding and proper finning techniques. Our guides lead by example, and responsible diving is part of every dive briefing.
The Green Fins Code of Conduct guides how we behave underwater — and what we ask from everyone who dives with us. We take pictures and leave only bubbles behind, without interfering with the reef or its inhabitants.
We reduce our footprint with solar power instead of a noisy diesel generator, refillable drinking water, paper food boxes and a repair-before-replace approach — then compensate what we can't avoid.
PADI Eco Center and Green Fins standards shape how we dive and operate every day. Through Adopt the Blue, we look after dive sites along around half of an island's coastline.
Not every conservation course has “ECO” in its name. Some teach you about the ocean and the problems it faces. Others simply teach you to move through it with more control and less impact.

Turn a clean-up dive into citizen science, in one survey dive.
The bigger picture of ocean conservation. A dry course, no diving needed.
Shark and ray biology, the threats they face, and a census divers can join.
How reefs work, what threatens them and what helps. A dry course.
You don't need a clean-up dive to clean up.
Sometimes it's a beach clean-up or a Dive Against Debris survey. Sometimes it's picking up a fishing line on an ordinary dive, reporting a damaged reef, helping with a restoration project — or simply having good enough buoyancy not to become part of the problem.
The best clean-up dive is the one where we find nothing. It hasn't happened yet.
