Marine Conservation Organizations

Is your Dive Travel Business Part of the Solution?
More and more, dive travel operators are putting money where their business interests are: The protection of the Marine Environment. This is an enlightened green business practice that reaps dividends for your business and the oceans.

Make Protection Part of the Package.
The ocean is part of the packages you sell. Why not make it standard business practice to donate a percentage of each dive or snorkel package you sell to a Marine Conservation Organization? On behalf of all concerned ocean lovers, these groups are helping all of us to do our part to conserve and protect our natural marine heritage for future generations.
