Sea Explorer environmental commitment:
Our passion for the sea and our love for diving became our profession, what better reasons could anybody have to value the Oceans for what they really are, Earth’s most precious commodity, that gave life to everything what is breathing now, above or below its surface.
Our goal is to reach out to our guest and the rest of the world, to create an understanding, that everything is connected on our planet, and no action is without consequences. We want to raise awareness,
That if we all make small adjustments in our lifestyle, we can make a difference.
For us it means, that we use only the absolute necessary amount of paper, for example, and do everything else on reusable sheets,
We promote the use of recycled materials, like our T-Shirts, which are made of recycled plastic bottles, and the island is virtually plastic free,
With glass bottles for the water, no plastic straws in the bars and around 80 % of the electricity is produced by solar panels we are on the right way, to reduce our environmental footprint.
If you want to do your part, please take any plastic and batteries you brought, back to your country, where these things can be handled appropriately.
