Marine conservation and environmental awareness is at the heart of everything we do. We are lucky to have a spectacular and protected house reef, along with several small marine sanctuaries spread along Dauin’s coast. Our dive centre has a no-touch, no gloves, no feeding, no anchoring policy, and Atmosphere Resorts & Spa actively show and promote a diving etiquette video to inform our guests.
Marine Conservation and Environmental Awareness
As the resort has developed, so have our efforts to protect the local environment, minimize our impact and raise awareness among our guests. From our no-touch diving practices to our wider conservation initiatives, we continue to look for ways to support the health of the marine environment and the communities that depend on it.
What We Do
- Taking environmental ownership of our beach and house reef with regular clean-ups involving our guest. Raising environmental awareness with marine conservation-focused presentations
- Guests are kindly asked not to remove coral, shells or sand from our beach
- Hosting school groups for service trips focusing on marine conservation and community outreach activities
- Working with local NGO – the Institute for Marine Research – who are gathering long-term monitoring data on the heath of Dauin’s coral reefs.
- Setting up a coral nursery
- Offering scientific research dives weekly together with IMR on our house reef, for guests to join
