- Carbon offset your trip. The largest carbon output of any trip comes from the flight. Consider purchasing carbon offsets. Offsets support fun clean energy and other projects that result in direct, measurable reductions in carbon emissions.
- Choose green accommodations. A lot of hotels advertise themselves as eco-friendly. Environmentally Friendly Hotels is one organization that rates hotels based on their environmentally conscious practices.
- Follow sustainable dive practices. Don’t litter, and if you see trash, pick it up. Don’t touch marine life. Watch your fin kicks to avoid damaging the reef. Never take part of the natural environment with you; snap a picture for the memories.
