The invisible side of a good dive
Returning from a dive with beautiful shots can easily become a measure of success. However, a good dive requires leaving the underwater environment as it was when you left. Unnecessary contact with fragile creatures, rocky surfaces and seagrass meadows can disrupt natural fabric, sometimes accumulated over many years.
eight principles
- Do not dive without proper training and credentials. 2. Always plan the dive with a professional assessment of local conditions. 3. Pay attention to buoyancy control. 4. Do not feed fish or touch living creatures. 5. Do not remove the animal from its nest for photography. 6. Do not damage seagrasses and sensitive surfaces. 7. Do not remove cultural assets or share their locations that should not be disclosed. 8. Do not throw garbage and disposable materials into the sea.
Protection also begins on the boat
The decision to anchor and boat approach in sensitive areas requires the business to consider the impact of legislation, safety and the environment together. Sea meadows can be damaged not only by the diver's fins but also by improper anchoring.
The power of little notes
It is more valuable to explain the publication rules in a clear and measurable way, rather than adding cliché advertising sentences such as "no living creatures were touched during shooting" to gallery photos.
