Worldwide Dive and Sail considers not only the safety on board of our guests and crew, but also marine conservation. While on board, our guests have the opportunity to rent a Nautilus LifeLine, for just 1 Euro per day. The money collected is then handed over to the Siren Fleet Foundation. The money raised in 2014 has been gathered and donated to the following marine conservation charities:
• Bite-Back is a Shark and Marine Conservation organization whose main mission is to terminate the consumption and trade of vulnerable fish species, promote sustainable fishing, protect ocean habitats and inspire worldwide respect for the marine environment. Bite-Back is working to end the profit opportunities for all shark and shark-derived products in the UK including shark fin soup, shark cartilage, shark jaws, shark teeth and oils.
• Reef Check Foundation is an international non-profit organization dedicated to conservation of the tropical coral reefs and the California rocky reefs. Its main goals are to educate the public about the value of reef ecosystems and the current crisis affecting marine life, to create a global network of volunteer teams trained in Reef Check’s scientific methods who regularly monitor and report on reef health,
to facilitate collaboration that produces ecologically sound and economically sustainable solutions, and to stimulate local community action to protect remaining pristine reefs and rehabilitate damaged reefs worldwide

• Wild Me is a non-profit organization that encourages, facilitates, and undertakes world-class scientific research to provide important information and tools (data and software) to assist with ‘best practice’ management for wildlife conservation. Worldwide Dive and Sail is currently in the process of adopting a manta ray in Komodo from Wild Me! More information coming soon!
