The ocean gives us everything.
It provides us with incredible experiences, unforgettable wildlife encounters and the privilege of doing what we love every single day.
At Funky Turtle Divers, we believe that enjoying the ocean comes with a responsibility to protect it. While one dive centre can’t solve every environmental challenge, we can ensure that our own actions leave as little impact as possible—and inspire others to do the same.
This is our commitment.
We Will Always Put Marine Life First
Every animal deserves to be observed respectfully in its natural environment.
We will never chase, touch, ride, feed or intentionally disturb marine life, and we actively encourage our divers to do the same.
The best wildlife encounters happen when we allow nature to behave naturally.
We Will Teach Responsible Diving
Good buoyancy isn’t just about looking like an experienced diver – it’s one of the most important ways to protect coral reefs.
Throughout our courses and guided dives, we’ll help every diver develop the skills needed to avoid damaging the fragile marine environment.
Protecting the reef starts with every fin kick.
We Will Lead by Example
Our instructors and dive professionals are expected to follow the same environmental standards we ask of our customers.
We believe conservation starts with our own actions, both above and below the surface.
We Will Reduce Waste Wherever We Can
Small changes, repeated every day, make a big difference.
We’ll continue looking for ways to reduce single-use plastics, minimise unnecessary waste and make environmentally responsible choices throughout our operation whenever practical.
Progress is more important than perfection.
We Will Leave Dive Sites Better Than We Found Them
If we find marine debris during a dive and it is safe to remove, we’ll do so.
We encourage our divers to join us whenever possible, because keeping our oceans clean is a shared responsibility.
We Will Support Our Local Environment
Koh Tao’s reefs are our home.
We’ll support local conservation initiatives, beach clean-ups and environmental projects whenever we can, and encourage our community to get involved.
Healthy reefs benefit everyone – marine life, local communities and future generations of divers.
Koh Tao
We Will Continue Learning
Marine science and environmental best practice are constantly evolving.
We’ll continue educating ourselves and sharing that knowledge with our divers so that every person who leaves Funky Turtle Divers understands not only how to enjoy the ocean, but how to protect it.
Our Promise to Every Diver
When you dive with Funky Turtle Divers, you’re not just exploring the underwater world – you’re becoming part of a community that believes it should be left exactly as we found it, or even better.
Every careful fin kick.
Every piece of litter removed.
Every respectful wildlife encounter.
Every responsible diver.
Together, these small actions create a lasting difference.
Dive Smart. Stay Funky.
