A Diver Responsibility to the Ocean
Every diver is an ocean guardian. Learn how to minimize your underwater environmental impact.
1. Touch Nothing
Coral, fish, shells — look, do not touch.
2. Master Buoyancy
Poor buoyancy is the #1 cause of coral damage. Practice.
3. Take Only Photos
Leave shells for hermit crabs, starfish for the reef.
4. Reef-Safe Sunscreen
Oxybenzone kills coral. Use mineral sunscreen.
5. Do Not Feed Fish
Disrupts natural feeding behavior.
6. Pick Up Trash
Join Dive Against Debris. Every piece helps.
