|
We have a policy of employing local staff and funding their training up to PADI Instructor level. Our instructors, dive masters and boat drivers are all Vincentian nationals. We also provide an intern programme to local youths to encourage awareness of the marine environment. Diving with us helps us to maintain this on going project.
In many countries there is usually some level of conflict between the dive industry and the fishing community as both industries compete for use of the same resources - divers want to see fish / fishers want to catch them. In St. Vincent we have tried to assist in working with the fishing community to build understanding of each others requirements to preserve the environment as much as possible whilst maintaining the ability to support wealth generation from limited resources. We actively support St. Vincent fisheries policies, and helps to survey marine resources. We have actively supported surveys of fish and marine environments, environmental impact studies for developments etc. We operate a No Gloves policy. As divers who wear gloves are more likely to touch and place their hands on the reef - my policy is NO GLOVES when reef diving. (When diving wrecks, caves or drift diving then gloves are permitted for the protection of diver safety). |
Tourism can be good and bad for destinations & local people. We carefully screen every holiday against our criteria for responsible travel. 'Look behind the brochure' to find how each holiday makes a difference (see left). We don't claim to be perfect - there is no global accreditation - but we've led the way since 2001 and screened 1000's of holidays. We invite every traveller to write a review about their experiences and responsible tourism. This valuable feedback is sent to the people who run the holidays. We keep a very close eye on it and take off holidays that don't live up to our standards. |
