How To Talk To Other Divers About Bad Habits

Talking to other divers about bad habits is important for protecting marine life and ensuring safe diving practices. Many bad habits, like touching marine life or poor buoyancy control, can harm the ocean and put divers at risk. When addressing these issues, it’s best to approach the conversation with respect and empathy. Choose a private setting, be specific about the behavior, explain its impact, and suggest alternatives. Lead by example in your own diving to help create a culture of responsibility among divers.
