Diving in the Maldives: The care of our oceans

As a responsible tour operator, we respect the environment and ask that the guests aboard our boats and staying at our islands do too ! Maldives Scuba Tours actively participate in programmes concerned with the preservation of the marine environment. We are an official Napwatch Centre involved in the preservation of Napoleon Wrasses and we contribute to other marine awareness and conservation schemes.

Please consider the following points:

• Please take home as many of your used batteries and plastic containers as possible.
• Please dive thoughtfully and carefully controlling your buoyancy at all times in order to protect the coral.
• Turtle shell jewellery is sold in many shops - turtles are a world-wide protected species, please do not buy any of these goods and hopefully we will be able to eradicate this trade.
• Please do not pick up live shells or coral from the seabed and please do not buy them from the tourist shops.

Your individual actions and attitudes can make a big difference - please act thoughtfully.
