Can You Dive Responsibly in Bali?


Scuba Diving in Bali

Bali, despite its reputation as a diving destination, is not particularly aware of environmental issues. The Balinese acknowledge the importance of protecting the environment and the need to take action, but this responsibility is often deferred to future generations. However, it is still possible to adopt more responsible diving practices to minimize the impact on marine ecosystems.


Here are some recommendations for responsible diving in Bali:


  • Pick up trash in the sea or on the beach when you see it.

  • Never touch fish or other marine animals.

  • Avoid sudden movements and do not get too close to the animals to avoid scaring them.

  • Avoid using sunscreen to protect the oceans from harmful chemicals.

  • During night dives, be careful not to shine light directly into the eyes of the fish.

  • Practice neutral buoyancy to avoid accidentally damaging the seabed.

  • Familiarize yourself with local regulations and those specific to each dive site.

  • Maximize group trips to reduce air pollution.


For responsible diving to be possible in Bali, it requires a conscious effort and a willingness to minimize environmental impact.
