Sustainable diving
with Coraya Divers
Water and air, the two crucial elements for life on earth, turned into global trash cans” – Jacques Cousteau
Very slowly, but- finally – mankind understood sustainable environment protection is not just a task for the big polluting entities, but it is a task for ALL OF US…. EVERY DAY!
We divers can also do our part to ensure that our reefs and the oceans of this earth are polluted as little as possible.
That’s why we at Coraya Divers have decided to put the idea of environment protection into the focus of our daily work and integrate it into our actions.
PLEASE kindly support us in these efforts!
Here are some hints for our diving customers
- be attentive: report to your dive center any environment violation you have observed.
- avoid trash: (also during your vacation) Collect rubbish during your dives wherever possible.
- behave under water: more knowledge about the marine life allows you to adapt better to it. (grab the opportunity to increase your knowledge)
- Mind your buoyancy and don’t forget: Your legs became much longer with the fins!
- Avoid harmful sunscreen and wear our Coraya Divers UV shirts, for example.
- Mind our limited resources = your water consumption. We live in the desert here: Sea water must be desalinated, and it is expensive…
- Avoid the use of ‚one way’ plastic items wherever you can!
