Responsible diving in El Gouna
We dive the Red Sea every day — so taking care of it is part of how we work. Practical routines on board, careful dive-site awareness and honest improvements guide how we operate.
OUR APPROACH
Practical steps, not empty promises
We focus on the parts of our daily operation we can influence directly.
We focus on the parts of our daily operation we can influence directly: boat routines, guest awareness, equipment care and the way our crew prepares each trip.

Practical responsibility in our daily operation
These are the concrete measures we can stand behind today — clear, practical and connected to our everyday work.
192 t CO₂ offset
We have offset selected boat operations with 192 tonnes of CO₂ compensation.
Less single-use waste
On our day boat, reusable 19-litre PET bottles help reduce the need for many small single-use bottles.
Cleaner reef sites
Vienna has a wastewater tank so wastewater is not released at reef sites or sensitive dive and snorkel spots.
Cleaner trips
Our crew keeps daily routines focused on cleaner trips: waste stays on board, loose items are secured and each boat day is prepared with care.
Better choices on the way to the reef
Our boats take us to the dive sites that make El Gouna so special. We plan each day with care, keep routines practical and avoid unnecessary waste on board.
- Smarter route planning where possible
- Regular boat and engine care
- Waste stays on board
- Selected boat operations offset
A better trip starts with good preparation
Before and during the trip, our team keeps guests informed about conditions, boat routines and the character of each site. Clear preparation helps everyone enjoy the Red Sea with more confidence.
Secure gear
We encourage divers to keep equipment streamlined and secure during the trip.
Respect marine life
We ask guests to observe animals calmly and avoid feeding, chasing or stressing them.
Respectful photography
Good underwater photos should not come at the expense of marine life.
CLEANUPS
Cleanups are part of how we give back
We take part in cleanups under water and on land because marine protection does not start and end with the dive. Cleanups are part of an ongoing mindset, not just campaign moments.

GUEST CHOICES
Easy ways guests can help
Small habits can make the day better: bring a reusable bottle, use the bins on board, keep loose items secure and give marine life the space it needs.
Bring a reusable bottle- Use the bins on board
BEHIND THE SCENES
Responsibility is also in the routines guests do not always see
EQUIPMENT CARE
Repair before replacement
We take care of rental equipment so it lasts longer, performs better and avoids unnecessary replacement.
CREW ROUTINES
Small checks, better habits
Our crew sets the tone on board, from waste routines to guest reminders and preparation before every trip.
HONEST IMPROVEMENT
Not perfect — but moving forward
We do not claim to be impact-free. We focus on real actions we can stand behind and keep improving.
FAQ
Questions about our eco & responsibility approach
Selected boat operations have been offset: the first 1,000 operating hours of Blue Sister with 100 tonnes of CO2 compensation, and 10,000 kilometres of day boat operation with 92 tonnes of CO2 compensation.
Yes. We take part in cleanups underwater and on land. We see this as part of our responsibility as a dive centre that works with the Red Sea every day.
Vienna is fitted with a wastewater tank. This helps ensure wastewater is not released at reef sites or sensitive dive and snorkel spots. It is emptied offshore in open sea, away from the reef.
On our day boat, we use reusable 19-litre PET water bottles instead of relying on many small single-use bottles. Guests are also welcome to bring their own reusable bottle.
Yes. We focus on responsible dive trips rather than big claims. Our approach combines careful boat routines, less avoidable single-use waste, cleanups and clear guest communication about keeping the Red Sea clean.
For us, responsible diving means practical choices in our daily operation: selected boat operations are offset, we use reusable 19-litre water bottles on the day boat, Vienna has a wastewater tank to keep wastewater away from reef sites, and we take part in cleanups underwater and on land.
