5 Green Diver Do’s

– If you are a green diver, you respect marine life

A diver, by definition, loves nature and therefore respects it. Divers appreciate an ecosystem as beautiful as fragile, and they know they can contribute to its conservation.

– If you are a green diver, you are a responsible photographer.

If you love photography in addition to diving, you should know that photographers are the type of divers who damage the reefs the most. That doesn’t mean that you should give up your passion, but you have to do it responsibly.

Avoid the flash as much as possible, never rest your camera on the reef, etc. In short, take your photos following this rule: Never put a “good” image before the well-being of the marine organism or the environment you intend to photograph. Then your pics will be really good.

5 Green Diver Don’ts

– If you are a green diver, you leave no trace of your presence

Green divers leave only bubbles. We mean that you do not litter the sea with anything, either from the boat or, of course, diving.  But it doesn’t stop there. If you find garbage in the sea, even if it is not yours, you should take it away if possible.

Oh, and watch out for bubbles! Because if you are in a cave, bubbles take time to disappear and can harm some species, so do not prolong your stay longer than necessary.

– If you are a green diver, you don’t make noise

Noise is a pollutant. So, the green diver uses acoustic signals to attract attention only when necessary to use them.

– If you’re a green diver, you don’t shut up

There’s one other thing the green divers don’t do, and that’s shut up about their love for the sea.  They share with friends and family the significance of conserving the marine environment. This makes you see the importance of preservation actions and contribute to them. So don’t hesitate, if you are a green diver, share this post.
