We as divers are in the middle of the most beautiful, but also fragile ecosystems - the seas and lakes of this world! Wonderful experiences connect us directly with the water and the inhabitants we get to experience. This brings an incredible amount of joy, but also responsibility. We have a direct influence on the intact continuation of these ecosystems. Sun & Fun is committed to protecting the oceans and helping to ensure that we can continue to experience the world we live in for a long time to come. So here we would like to share some tips on what we and you can do!
Dive through narrow places only if you can pass through them without touching. Don't swim or snorkel too close to the reef. Do not touch corals and do not break them off Use only marked entrances and exits Do not whirl up sand Do not hunt or disturb animals Do not touch animals Do not feed animals Do not take souvenirs from the sea Do not disturb animals or living creatures for the perfect photo
Never throw inorganic waste into the sea - plastics decompose incredibly slowly Minimize waste production: use reusable coffee cups and food boxes, glass or metal cups and shopping bags Do not bring unnecessary garbage to the vacation area Dispose of your waste as environmentally friendly as possible Always dispose of your cigarettes in the designated devices - not on the ground or in the water
Protect your environment Be a role model and show how to do it right with positive motivation Support useful projects and organizations Pick up trash during your dives - under and above water Remove stuck strings and collect plastic and nets No to shark fins, whale meat, turtle eggs, etc. Find out which fish you can eat without hesitation.
Shower only as long as necessary. Especially in regions for which water storage and purification is difficult Wash your equipment only in the marked containers and only when it is really necessary - often it is enough to wash the equipment at the end of the vacation. Turn off the light when you don't need it Use alternative transportation or walk instead of driving a car Avoid unnecessary waste - shopping lists help to buy only what is really needed. You save money and avoid food waste in the process
Conservation is on the agenda of all our courses, our briefings provide important information on marine conservation and we actively try to minimize our negative impact on the environment.
We cooperate with organizations for the protection of the oceans. From each marine biology course sold, we donate 10 euros to such an organization.
Recurring Clean Up actions will take place with us starting in 2023. Each month we raffle one marine biology course among our guests.
