Sustainable Diving and The Go Green Initiative
As we discussed in the article Green Diver Do’s and Don’ts and Best Practices You can learn the skills of sustainable diving quickly.
It is just about internalizing a simple behavior code. The dive operators’ responsibility is to share it, make it known to our clients, and inspire them by our example in sustainable diving.
This is the goal of Dressel Divers’ Go Green project. It is 4 years old this year.
During this time, Dressel Divers has shown its commitment to the planet with actions that go beyond sustainable diving.
Sustainable Scuba Diving and Social Commitment: The Go Green Principles
a) Sustainable diving starts by complying with the law
Limitations on the number of boats, eco-fees, and marine park permissions are just some of the examples. Complying with current legislation is the first and most basic way to show our commitment to sustainable scuba diving. Dressel Divers dives and practices snorkeling in numerous protected marine parks and biosphere reserve regions in three different countries. It would not be possible if our commitment to sustainable scuba diving was built just by good intentions.
b) Following social commitment guidelines
Diving while protecting and conserving the reef has been part of Dressel Divers’ philosophy since its inception. Our way of working is based on environmentally friendly guidelines.
