Environmentally Friendly

Coral reefs are without doubt one of the most important natural treasures of our planet. They are home to the world’s most diverse marine communities and most beautiful seascapes. They protect islands from being washed away by waves and provide millions of people with food and employment. As scuba divers and snorkellers, we are privileged to be on more intimate terms with the reef and its inhabitants than the average Joe. It is our responsibility to repay this trust by doing our utmost not to damage reef.

Corals don’t do much, spending most of their time performing a believable impersonation of a rock, but we must never be fooled into thinking that they are not living animals. Just look at a picture of one of Cayman’s corals spawning to see how alive they can be. Corals are colonies of tiny delicate polyps that are easily injured or killed by excessive contact. Branching species are easily broken by careless fin kicks or if they are grabbed.

Our environmental respect should extend well beyond the corals. We should not harass or handle any of the marine creatures we encounter. This is one of the reasons why gloves are not permitted when diving in the Cayman Islands. There is an old saying in the diving world that if a creature moves slowly enough for us to touch it - then don’t - there is probably a good reason for its confidence. If you don’t know what something is, then you should be very careful before extending a finger!

Environmental awareness should not finish when we get out of the water. Please try not to waste water or electricity while in the island. Do not leave litter on the beach or in the ocean. We should also think carefully about what seafood we eat. Some species, such as some groupers, have been fished close to extinction on Grand Cayman and no longer aggregate at their traditional spawning grounds to reproduce and start the next generation of their species. We should also consider our carbon footprint – as coral reefs are one of the ecosystems most critically threatened by global warming.

Most of Grand Cayman’s dive sites are unsurprisingly found in zones of Cayman’s Marine Parks, and are thus protected under the Marine Conservation Legislation. In brief these laws prohibit us from damaging the coral, taking any marine life alive or dead and disturbing turtles in any way. It is our privilege to visit their home and we must always put the marine environment first in our diving.  More details on the marine park rules can be found in our downloads section.
