World's first carbon-neutral liveaboard
Explorer Ventures Liveaboard Diving has become the first liveaboard diving fleet to become 100% carbon neutral. The carbon emissions from each of Explorer Ventures' vessels, including the fuel use, parts, supplies, shipping, staff travel, office energy usage and land-based staff commutes are now offset by the purchase of energy credits from NativeEnergy, which in turn funds projects utilizing only renewable energy.
