Environmental Issues

Protection and enhancement of the marine environment is a duty and obligation for all dive operators. They must show the way both by action, education and commitment in all activities.

Scuba Cat Diving has long led the Phuket dive community with active involvement in many environmental initiatives: sinking of Marla’s Mystery creating Phuket’s first artificial reef (Nov. 2000), this year celebrating the tenth anniversary being local coordinator for International Reef Clean-up day, Phuket’s only active REEF CHECK team, active membership in both GREEN FINS and GO ECO projects and ongoing assistance with the Phuket Marine Biological Centre in conducting fish and coral surveys.

In addition, we are a PADI 5 Star CDC Centre and became Phuket’s first National Geographic Centre and Thailand's first Go Eco Operator. We don’t just talk about it- we do it!

The International Ecotourism Society defines ecotourism as, “responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and sustains the well-being of local people.” This is important because tourism is the world’s largest industry and is growing rapidly. This is good news for travel operators, but tourism can also hurt the natural ecosystem. Increased numbers of tourists require a larger infrastructure and can lead to serious pollution and degradation.

Scuba Cat Diving, Phuket Thailand is committed to environmentally responsible business practices and to providing our customers with dive experiences that enhance awareness of our local aquatic environment.
