  Please do not collect souvenirs.
    Collecting shells and pieces of coral from an underwater environment is a sure way to contribute to its destruction. It is illegal in many countries that are particularly protective of their coastal waters.
    Dive sites that are heavily visited can be severely damaged in a very short time if everyone takes home a piece of coral or other specimen as a souvenir. Even an empty shell, from some dead creature, can be habitat for other smaller organisms. Collecting coral and shells and the like, can strip an area of its fascination and beauty. If you want some trophies of your dives, consider underwater photography - taking photos of sufficient quality for enlargements is a challenge of far greater pride than picking up stuff along the way.

If you hunt, obey all fish and game laws.
    You may be among the group of divers who get pleasure from taking food from the aquatic realm. If you engage in this activity, it is vital that you obtain proper licensing and become familiar with all fish and game rules. Local laws are designed to ensure the reproduction and survival of these animals.
    Only take what you will consume. Never kill for the sake of killing. Respect the rights of other divers who are not hunting. Avoid spear-fishing in areas that other divers are using for sight-seeing and underwater photography.
    As an underwater hunter, understand your impact on the environment.
