blue o two’s Responsible Tourism pledge!

blue o two is very pleased to announce that their fleet vessels are aiming to be completely single-use plastic-free by the end of 2019!

It is thought plastics in the ocean kill upwards of a million sea birds and 100,000 marine mammals each year. These figures are sadly rising and disturbingly, the numbers do not count the much larger number of animals which are simply not found after death. blue o two believes they will be able to achieve their goal due to the leverage of relationships within their alliance of global brands – blue o two, Master Liveaboards, Siren Fleet and The Junk. The alliance will be working with local suppliers, NGOs and government organisations, among many others.

The initiative is part of their expanding environmental policy and is an enormous project as it accounts for water bottles through to cleaning products. The banning of straws recently, across all the fleet vessels, was only the first tiny step in this process. blue o two will continue to update customers on their successes and challenges and with their alliance, they hope to lead the way in the diving liveaboard industry in driving down single-use plastics.
