To ensure the future of Tasmania’s marine environment, observe the following low impact diving guidelines:
Dive gear should be rigged and operated to prevent damage to habitats. Dangling gauges and equipment should be secured. Divers should maintain neutral buoyancy to minimise disturbance to the seafloor by fins. You should also avoid gripping objects for support or to prevent drift.
Environmental protection and conservation regulations change as new information about caring for our complex marine environment emerges. If you are unsure about whether you need permission to dive at a particular location, contact the local Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife Service office for information.
