Scuba Dynamics Goes ECO with the Project AWARE Go ECO Operator Campaign

Scuba Dynamics is the latest PADI dive centre to be awarded with Project AWARE Go ECO Operator status in 2006.

Project AWARE Foundation, the dive industry’s leading non-profit environmental organisation, launched the Go ECO campaign into the Asia Pacific region in 2005. The main objective of Go ECO is for dive centres to minimise their impact on the aquatic ecosystem whilst contributing to environmental, economic and cultural conservation. Dive centres are required to meet best practice environmental guidelines and commit to the Project AWARE Go ECO philosophy.

Scuba Dynamics is delighted to be awarded with the Project AWARE Go ECO Operator status for 2006. As a Go ECO Operator we are committed to providing dive experiences that enhance visitor awareness, appreciation and understanding of the local aquatic environment,” said Henry Batzer, founder and owner of Scuba Dynamics.

Joanne Marston, Coordinator, of Project AWARE Asia Pacific added, “We are pleased to recognise Scuba Dynamics as a Go ECO Operator. We look forward to working with them to implement environmental best practices and educate tourists about how they can travel responsibly.”

Go ECO Operators also demonstrate a commitment to conservation and pledge to follow the Go ECO Operator guidelines.
