RESPONSIBLE DIVER CODE

We‘re all responsible for protecting our aquatic resources. With our Responsible Diver Code we want to make everyone aware of the environmental problems from the start. We want them to think critically, and take positive action whenever they travel and dive. That’s why the code is displayed in all our digital training materials, as an easy reference any time they read our content.

ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS

Commit to personally protect the environment 

Prevent others from causing damage through positive action and motivation

Support useful projects and organizations dedicated to marine protection

If possible, collect garbage on your dives – but only if doing so does not cause more damage to the environment

If possible, cut hanging ropes and collect floating nets and plastics

Inform your buddy or the crew on the surface if you were not able to remove the net

Never eat shark fins, whale meat, turtle eggs, etc.

Report immediately violations of the ban on the use of marine animals as souvenirs

AVOID GARBAGE

Never throw inorganic waste into the sea – Plastics decompose incredibly slowly

Minimize the production of garbage: Use reusable coffee mugs and lunch boxes, glass or metal bottles and shopping bags

Do not bring unnecessary packaging to the resort

Dispose of your waste in as eco-friendly a manner as possible

If you smoke, dispose of cigarette butts in the proper receptacle, not on the ground or in the water

DEALING WITH THE UNDERWATER WORLD

Only use a swim-through if you can do so without touching anything

Don’t swim or snorkel too close to the reef

Don’t touch or break corals

Use labeled entrances/exits for the water

Don’t disturb the sand, since it reduces visibility and smothers corals

Don’t hunt or bother animals

Don’t touch animals unless properly trained

Don’t feed animals

Don’t take souvenirs from the sea - broken coral pieces or empty snail shells still serve as useful habitat

Only place a reef hook where it will not damage or disturb the reef

Do not disturb animals or habitat to improve your photo opportunity

RESPONSIBLE USE OF RESOURCES

Shower only as long as required to get clean, especially in areas with minimal ability to store/purify water

Wash your equipment in the provided container, and only when necessary – often it’s enough to clean equipment thoroughly at the end of the dive trip

Turn off the lights when you aren’t using them

Use alternative transportation or walk instead of driving

Avoid unnecessary waste - food plans and shopping lists help save you money, and prevent purchasing unnecessary food that may go to waste

So what are Bespoke Diving Adventures Doing about the environment

At this moment in time, we are working very closely with the Nottingham Environment Agency and a few other agencies to gain the relevant paperwork to perform a large river cleanup.

So watch this space for dates and locations.
