6. "Amphitrite Protection" – Zero-Impact Policy
Amphitrite is a fragile geological treasure. To protect its unique stalactite and stalagmite formations, we enforce a strict Zero-Impact Policy :
• Buoyancy & Trim: Divers must maintain perfect control at all times. Any threat to the cave’s integrity due to poor skills will lead to immediate dive termination.
• Conservation: It is strictly forbidden to touch, kick, or remove any part of the rock formations or natural material.
