Environment - Go Eco

Blue Season Bali Goes ECO with the Project AWARE Go ECO Operator Campaign

Blue Season Bali is the latest PADI dive centre to be awarded with Project AWARE Go ECO Operator status in 2008.

Project AWARE Foundation, a non-profit environmental organisation working with divers to conserve underwater environments, 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.

“Blue Season Bali is delighted to be awarded with the Project AWARE Go ECO Operator status for 2008. 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 Jonathan Cross

Joanne Marston, Manager, of Project AWARE Asia Pacific added, “We are pleased to recognise Blue Season Bali 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.

Our AWARE - Coral Reef Conservation Specialty Course, specially designed by PADI, teaches everyone, not just divers and snorkelers, about the role of coral reefs in the marine environment. The course goes into extensive detail about the plight of the reefs in our world today and how we can help. It a great idea to combine this specialty course with one of our Bali dive trips or Bali snorkeling trips.

Blue Season Bali also participates in many environmental programs in Bali and the surrounding area. Our staff are dedicated to ensuring the protection of our reefs through a series of educational and awareness programs.

During the next few months Blue Season Bali will be starting our PADI Reef check program which we hope all of you will get involved with.

We in the Blue Season Bali team are proud of our efforts towards protecting the environment.
