Responsibility for the environment

For many years, Asia Divers and the El Galleon Beach Resort have been on the cutting edge of environmental consciousness and ocean-friendly operations. Simple daily activities include the following:

Neutral Buoyancy

We teach all courses in Neutral Buoyancy – right from the beginning. Not only does this give our divers more confidence underwater, but it helps the awareness of staying off the bottom at all times, protecting coral reefs and self.

Dive Against Debris

Asia Divers has Adopted a Dive Site and is conducting a Project AWARE “Dive Against Debris” every month. We also report our data is great detail so it can be used for policy development. All our instructor candidates learn how to organize such events through eIDC. Of course we pick up any plastic on any dive every day if it fits in the pocket.

No more Plastic Straws

El Galleon has changed from plastic straws to paper (on request- because most drinks can really be enjoyed just from a glass…) and we convinced other resorts to make the change too.

Refillable water bottles for Rooms, Restaurant and Dive Shop

We are using special refillable water bottles for our guests and divers – so they can refuel any time at our water stations – and 50% of the refill- charge goes as a donation to Project AWARE.

Re-use of consumables – e.g. old cooking oil

Our restaurant is utilizing used cooking oil for our romantic evening table lighting.

Zero Liquid Discharge

The El Galleon Resort has an innovative water and waste water treatment system that allows no liquid discharge into the environment – making sure we do our part to avoid effluent pollution. No detergents, sewage or other commercial effluent end up in the sea.

Solar Energy Use

We have several solar panels installed that are currently supplying all our pier and dive deck lighting, the Barrel Bar as well as all amenities in The Point Bar. Five of our rooms are currently running off solar power and we are planning to roll-out the entire resort after the test phase.

Energy Saving Appliances

We started converting high energy use appliances, e.g. aircon units to inverter models in our classrooms as well as resort rooms.

Boat repairs/ repaints

Whenever there is a boat to repair/ repaint, we are extra conscious about any chemicals used and also use sliders to prevent any material from ending up in the ocean.

Educational programs

Schools are engaged in Project AWARE activities and learn how their actions impact the environment. Public littering is a major problem in the area and awareness

A very atmospheric place with delicious cuisine and excellent organization of diving, from beginner to technical diver. Ride scooters underwater and zipline in the air. We have been visiting this place since 2008 and are always greeted like true friends.
