If you are planning to go snorkeling and/or diving on holiday, please take into consideration the following:

• Admire the beautiful underwater world, but don’t touch anything. Some fish and corals are poisonous, and coral already dies by one touch. And as a diver, you still want to keep enjoying the coral and its fish
• Never bring coral (even if it is already dead on the beach). Customs will give you a hefty fine
• Never throw cigarette butts overboard: this causes the coral and fish to die
• Ask the dive instructor what is being done in the area to protect marine life
