At OneOcean Diving, we are dedicated to promoting environmental awareness and responsibility. We believe that protecting the environment is not only a moral imperative but also a vital necessity for the health and well-being of all living beings.
To this end, we are committed to personally protecting the environment through our actions and our policies. We aim to minimize our environmental impact by implementing sustainable practices, reducing waste and emissions, and conserving resources. We believe that every individual can make a difference, and we encourage our team members, partners, and clients to join us in our efforts to create a greener, healthier world.
In addition to our personal commitment, we strive to prevent others from causing damage to the environment. We believe that positive action and motivation are key to encouraging people to adopt environmentally responsible behaviors. By educating and inspiring others, we hope to create a ripple effect that will lead to a more sustainable and resilient future.
We recognize that protecting the marine environment is especially critical, given the threats of pollution, over-fishing, and climate change. That’s why we support useful projects and organizations dedicated to marine protection, such as conservation initiatives, research programs, and advocacy groups. We believe that by working together with these partners, we can make a meaningful impact on the health and well-being of our oceans and the creatures that call them home.
Finally, we believe that every little bit counts, and that even small actions can have a big impact. When engaging in activities like scuba diving, we encourage our team members and partners to collect garbage when possible, as long as it does not cause more damage to the environment. We believe that this simple act can help to reduce the amount of plastic and other debris that end up in the ocean and harm marine life.
In summary, our mission is to promote environmental awareness and responsibility by personally protecting the environment, preventing others from causing damage, supporting marine protection projects and organizations, and encouraging positive action and motivation. We believe that by working together, we can create a more sustainable, healthier, and more vibrant world for ourselves and future generations.
Environmental Conservation Mission
At OneOcean Diving, we are committed to minimizing our impact on the environment and protecting the health of our oceans. We believe that avoiding garbage is one of the most important ways to do this. We encourage all of our team members, partners, and clients to never throw inorganic waste into the sea, as plastics decompose incredibly slowly and can harm marine life. Instead, we advocate for the responsible disposal of waste in appropriate receptacles on land.
To minimize the production of garbage, we recommend using reusable coffee mugs and lunch boxes, glass or metal bottles, and shopping bags. By reducing our reliance on single-use plastics and other disposable items, we can help to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in the ocean.
We also ask our team members, partners, and clients not to bring unnecessary packaging to the resort. This can include items like excess food packaging, plastic bags, and disposable cutlery. By avoiding these items, we can help to reduce the amount of waste that we generate and minimize our environmental impact.
When it comes to waste disposal, we encourage everyone to do so in as eco-friendly a manner as possible. This can include composting, recycling, and using biodegradable products whenever possible. By choosing environmentally responsible options, we can help to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills and the ocean.
Finally, if you smoke, we ask that you dispose of cigarette butts in the proper receptacle, not on the ground or in the water. These small items can have a significant impact on the health of our oceans and the creatures that call them home, so it’s important to dispose of them responsibly.
At OneOcean Diving, we believe that every individual can make a difference in protecting the environment and preserving the health of our oceans. By avoiding garbage and taking other environmentally responsible actions, we can help to create a more sustainable and vibrant future for ourselves and future generations.
The Underwater World
At OneOcean Diving, we believe that the underwater world is a delicate and beautiful ecosystem that deserves our respect and protection. We are committed to educating our team members, partners, and clients about responsible behavior in the water, and we expect everyone to follow these guidelines:
- When exploring the underwater world, please be mindful of the environment and the creatures that call it home.
- Only use a swim-through if you can do so without touching anything, and be sure to avoid swimming or snorkeling too close to the reef.
- It’s important not to touch or break corals, as they are living organisms and play a critical role in the ocean’s ecosystem.
- To help protect the underwater world, please use labeled entrances and exits for the water.
- Don’t disturb the sand, since it reduces visibility and smothers corals, and don’t hunt or bother animals.
- Only touch animals if you are properly trained and never feed them, as this can disrupt their natural behavior and harm their health.
- We ask that you do not take souvenirs from the sea, even small items like broken coral pieces or empty snail shells. These objects still serve as useful habitat for other marine creatures and are an important part of the underwater ecosystem.
- If you need to place a reef hook, please do so in a location where it will not damage or disturb the reef.
- Finally, please do not disturb animals or habitat to improve your photo opportunities. We believe that it is possible to take stunning underwater photographs without disrupting the environment or the creatures that call it home.
By following these guidelines, we can help to ensure that the underwater world remains a vibrant and thriving ecosystem for generations to come. At OneOcean Diving, we believe that responsible behavior in the water is essential to preserving the health of our oceans and protecting the creatures that call them home.
Responsible use of Resources
At OneOcean Diving, we are committed to responsible use of resources, both above and below the water. We believe that by making small changes to our daily behavior, we can make a significant impact on the health of our planet.
- When staying at our facility, we encourage guests to conserve water by showering only as long as necessary. In areas with minimal ability to store or purify water, it is especially important to be mindful of our water usage.
- We also ask that you wash your equipment in the provided container, and only when necessary. Often, it’s enough to clean equipment thoroughly at the end of the dive trip.
- To conserve energy, we ask that you turn off lights when you are not using them.
- We also encourage the use of alternative transportation or walking instead of driving, which can help to reduce carbon emissions and protect our planet.
- Finally, we ask that you avoid unnecessary waste by planning your meals and shopping lists carefully. This can help to save you money and prevent purchasing unnecessary food that may go to waste.
At OneOcean Diving, we believe that responsible use of resources is essential to protecting our planet for future generations. We encourage all of our guests to join us in our efforts to reduce waste and conserve our natural resources.
