Ammonite AWARE

---

  M/Y Ammonite has a wonderful platform to provide exceptional guest experiences as well as help the ocean environment thrive.  Ammonite is in the process of being certified as a PADI ECO Friendly Dive Operation.  We encourage our clients to practice diving and snorkeling techniques that do not harm the marine environment.  We are also planning several conservation activities with local youth to get their assistance in cleaning up the beaches while teaching them about the yachting industry.

 PADI AWARE is dedicated to creating opportunities for dive operators to take local action for global impact, tackling five major ocean challenges: shark and rays, marine debris, coral restoration, climate change and habitat.

 Scuba diving, snorkelling and other forms of marine tourism are fantastic activities to introduce people to the marine environment and create new ocean advocates. However, unmanaged, these activities can have acute negative impacts for fragile ecosystems like coral reefs. 

 Green Fins encourages and empowers divers, snorkelers, the diving industry and coastal communities to reduce the pressures on coral reefs by offering marine tourism companies practical, low-cost alternatives to harmful practices – such as anchoring, fish feeding and chemical pollution – as well as providing strategic training, support and resources.
