Our commitment to the environment is a way of life and work.
With the help of all of you, we work to reduce our consumption and improve waste management.
In numbers: In 2022 we have reduced by 17% our electrical consumtion per costumer by 10% compared to 2021 and total water consumption by 2%. We have managed to exceed our goal of reducing our fuel consumption by 1% per customer. Waste management has resulted in a 30% reduction in general waste.
Our actions for sustainability:
- organize a recycling area, both on the boats and in the center
- have bathtubs with fresh water, on the boat and in the center, to clean the equipment
- put at your disposal a water source to be able to refill reusable bottles
- organize underwater clean-ups.
- raise awareness, through posters, ecobriefings and also through social networks about the importance of respecting the environment and about our fundamental role.
- separate the marine debris collected from the sea by our guides and divers.
- train workers on the behavior required of divers and guides in a natural park
All this is possible thanks to the commitment of our customers, who take advantage of the rubbish bins made available to them both on the boats and in the diving center; who skimp on water consumption when desalinating the material and using the showers and understand the need to take advantage of the boats trips.
Our future projects:
An idea for 2022 is to implement a system for measuring the debris we remove daily from the sea, adhering to the Dive Against Debris project proposed by the Padi Project Aware movement.
Another great novelty of the Unisub school is our Green pack, the diving course that enhances the environment (in addition to your diving course, we will offer you a specialty connected to the environment like Project Aware specialty, Dive against debris, grouper specialty, naturalist ...) is now available with the Advanced Open Water course! Our passion is the sea and we cannot stand to observe its destruction without doing the impossible to prevent it.
We hope you have the same purpose: to make this world a better world. If you join Unisub you will join this feeling, so :Welcome!
