Big Blue Tech: Eco Friendly
Living and working in a tropical paradise takes responsibility, we take this responsibility by supporting local efforts with technical support and logistics. We donate boat space, diving equipment and facilities for individuals conducting ecological assessments, clean ups, bio rock initiatives and training.
We also use our popular news section to create awareness of global ecological problems.
Underwater Cleanup
Big Blue Tech crew supports and volunteers underwater and beach cleanups monthly to help keep Koh Tao clean. Being technically trained means we have the skills and equipment to stay down much longer and recover large and dangerous items.
Unfortunately some large items like wooden fishing boats sink, stripped of their engine they're left to rot and destroy coral, we bring it up and dispose of it in deeper water keeping the shallow water preserved for everyone.
Beach Cleanup
We're always happy to clean the beach and roads around our area, we even donate the Deep Jeep to help cart the garbage away for disposal.
We're not a particularly messy company but we feel its our responsibility to clean up since we brought the technology and mess here in the first place.
And there's usually great parties after and the beach waste get's cleared making the best feature of thailand event better.
Awareness
Our resort has stopped serving food items that are listed through Project Aware as being threatened marine life, we make sure to educate divers on the effects of humans on the underwater environment and are always willing to give free lectures and seminars to the local community.
We also have our local Thai staff educate their friends and family about the effects of waste and pollutants helping spread the message of environment awareness throughout the community.
Wreck Preservation
We need our wrecks, when we have the time, we work to preserve the items on the wreck before the sea bed burry them. We also help to educate people about being responsible and careful with what to remove from wrecks and what should remain. Quite often we dedicate dives to removing hazards and fish traps from the wrecks to protect marine life and keep the wreck clear and safe to dive.
