Tips for Safe Caribbean Scuba Diving

I wanted to share with you a few tips before you venture into the waters. These tips are for the good of those invaluable miracles of nature.

Never anchor on corals. Tie up to a mooring buoy or jetty, or anchor carefully in sand or rubble patches.
Avoid kicking up the sand. It spoils the visibility for others and damages corals and other reef animals when it settles.
Be careful in underwater caverns and caves. Don't spend too long in there and avoid crowding.
Follow the sandy areas when swimming across the shallow part of a reef. It is easy to accidentally crush corals and disturb other animals.
Don't touch corals or hang of, rest on, or kick them. Corals are living animals and are damaged even by gentle handling.
Don't eat turtle. Marine turtles are endangered.
Take your litter with you, ad if you see litter, pick it up.
