Conservation Rules
We have adopted the Conservation Rules established by EPIC. Marine life should
never be stressed or endangered for the sake of a photo or video clip.
Conservation rules will apply to all entries and decisions will be final.
Entries suspected of exhibiting the following behaviour will be disqualified:
Last year we launched a new conservation initiative where we had independent
observers observe divers underwater for any misconduct. All entrants had to wear
a luminous disc with their entrant number on it as to be easily identified by
the observers. This year we will once again work with SANBI on this initiative.
You can download last year’s conservation report
