STINAPA has made the decision to reopen a few northern dive sites.
STINAPA has just announced an update on previously closed dive sites due to the Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD). All dive sites, except for the Washington Slagbaai National Park, are now open for diving.
It’s important to note that gear disinfection remains mandatory. Please ensure all snorkeling and diving equipment has been disinfected before and after each dive and snorkel day. Dive and Snorkel Operators are encouraged to continue offering disinfecting stations for their guests.
New SCTLD Volunteer Program
STINAPA has initiated antibiotic coral treatments and will soon launch the SCTLD Volunteer Program. This initiative aims to reach more corals and treat them more efficiently. If you’ve signed up already, expect an email with details from the new coordinator in the next two weeks.
Additional Information
