Project AWARE GO ECO Operators

Project AWARE’s Go ECO Campaign has been revamped throughout Asia Pacific in 2005 to inspire dive operators to implement environmental best practices in their local area and educate tourists about how they can travel responsibly. By following environmental guidelines, dive centres can minimize their impact on our aquatic ecosystem whilst contributing to environmental, economic and cultural conservation.

Ecotourism is becoming increasingly popular and it’s crucial that the dive industry respond to this to ensure they are meeting standards their consumers demand.

Go ECO helps dive centres and resorts to do this by providing their customers with dive experiences that enhance visitor awareness, appreciation and understanding of the local aquatic environment and a commitment to best practice ecological sustainability.

In order to become a Go ECO Operator, dive centres are required to submit an application form and pledge their commitment to the Eco-Operator guidelines.

If you’re travelling abroad look out for the Go ECO logo and our Project AWARE Go ECO Operators. These dive centres and resorts are committed to the Project AWARE Go ECO philosophy:
