3.2. Eco-Dive Shop Volunteering: An Eco-Dive Center Where You Can Collaborate as Well
If you trust an eco-dive center to enjoy your scuba vacations, you can probably participate as a volunteer in some of its environmental activities.
Sea bed cleanings, coral nurse transplantations, and coral nurseries maintenance are some nonprofitable and free proactive activities where you can take action for nature with Dressel Divers.
In addition, Dressel Divers eco-dive centers contribute to mitigating our carbon print, taking care of their ecological impact and makes the most of natural resources: saving energy, recycling, and taking effective action for the environment.
For example, Dressel Divers avoids non-reusable plastics. In addition, in all our dive centers there are special containers to separate the garbage to facilitate recycling.
In the same line, our staff focus their work on equipment service and maintenance to minimize our carbon print.
By the way, here’s a valuable tip. Avoid extremely cheap dive centers. They’re cutting back on something. Quality has a cost, and doing it sustainability is more expensive yet.
On other hand, only choosing Dressel Divers as an eco-dive center implies taking action for the environment. Not only because we are proactive with eco diving but also because we strictly comply with the environmental laws since all our eco diving tours are in protected marine parks in three of the four countries where we operate.
What does it mean exactly? It involves respecting limitations on the number of boats, paying eco-fees, and having marine park permissions up to date.
