Hi All,
I recently wrote an article on Enzine articles titled “Choosing Gear For Your Scuba Island Vacation“. The article is mainly about choosing your gear if you are an avid travel, but also covers what you should take/not take. I plan to write more articles in the future and will be sure to post links to them on the scuba island whenever I do. I hope it is helpful in helping you plan for your next trip.

Divers care about their environment. According to a recent article by Laura Bly, scuba divers provide an incentive to keep the underwater environement in good shape. As diving has grown, many locations now receive a large part of their income from divers. Totalling $4.1 million to local coastal communities from US divers alone. This economic incentive encourages these locations to keep the oceans and reefs in as good as shape as possible. The article also mentions that 95% of divers are willing to pay fees to dive in healthy protected reefs and many would pay even more for the chance to dive with turtles or other animals. Way to go divers!
Scuba diving is not only a great sport, but is now also something that has the potential to help improve and maintain the condition of our oceans. When you visit diviing areas let them know what you think about the quality of the ocean and reefs. Keep this in mind when planning your next scuba destination.
