Sustainable Diving Protocol

At our eco dive shop, sustainable diving isn’t a trend or a greenwashing marketing angle. It’s the foundation of how we operate here in the wilderness of West Sumbawa.

1. Reef safe buoyancy

We guide with buoyancy control, and help you master your buoyancy.

No kneeling on reefs. No accidental fin damage. We hover weightless, controlled, intentional. A bit worried about your buoyancy? Don't worry, we'll help you out, guide you through it.

2. No-touch policy

Look, never touch. No coral, no turtles, no shells, no souvenirs. The reef is not ours to man-handle, it’s ours to protect and admire.

3. Calm, conscious movement

​We dive slowly. We stay streamlined. We secure every hose and gauge. Our divers learn awareness of their fins, their body, and the fragile world around them.

4. Leave no trace

​Nothing goes into the ocean. Nothing stays behind. If we see debris and it’s safe to remove, we bring it back with us.

5. Ethical photography

​Marine life is never moved, chased, or stressed for a photo. The wellbeing of the ecosystem always comes before content.

6. Responsible choices

We use reef-safe sunscreen, have zero single-use plastics, maintain our equipment carefully, and choose durability over disposability. Sustainability starts before we even enter the sea.

7. Active ocean guardianship

​We don’t just avoid harm, we contribute. Cleanups, conservation awareness, and responsible partnerships are part of how we operate. We believe divers should leave a place better than we found it. Have you ever heard of the campsite rule? Yeah, that's it. You're getting it.

​We are guests in this ecosystem.

And good guests move gently.

​By diving with us, we kindly invite you to become part of that responsibility.
