Beach and diving holiday in Sardinia, Italy
How this holiday makes a difference
Environment
By traveling in a small group we are able to talk our guests about environmental concerns such as our strict 'leave no trace' policy. As a company we recycle waste, try to reduce our water, plastic and energy usage, share cars, and all our boats are no-smoking areas (avoids butts in the water, promotes good health).
In cooperation with PADI, we organize an annual 'Beach clean-up' event to awaken the local community to environmental problems, and together with DAN, we supporting a campaign about the security of the divers in the water.
Before the diving begins we give an explanation of the landscape, mountains, vegetation and animals. We then give a briefing on the technique of diving, in order to avoid to damaging the rocks and the marine life. Guests are advised to look but don't touch and of course we tell them not to take anything from the water. Most of things on the rocks are invertebrate animals and touching them can cause significant damage.
Community
We are trying to promote a different approach to the area, showcasing the natural environment of the Gulf while always keeping in mind the impact of our actions on the environment & community. We want to provide a positive example of Responsible Tourism and influence future developments
We support the local economy by using small private apartments or “agriturismo” owned by local families. We always advise our guests to support local shops, farms and services (buying local food, restaurants etc.). We always travel in small groups in order to give people the possibility to experience Sardinia in a relaxing way, without rushing from place to place.
