While you are enjoying yourself underwater, do not forget your responsibility that is to not disturb or harm marine life. Your diving gear that protects you and enables you to have this lifetime experience can damage the beautiful surroundings or even can become a trouble for you. Usually it is the pressure gauge or octopuses that fall lose and go on dragging while the diver swims across. The dragging continues to damage pretty sites, and if stuck, can be fatal for the diver too.

Do not touch anything
