Buoys over anchors
At the Gili moorings and anywhere coral heads are about, a buoy is taken rather than an anchor dropped. It costs time and occasionally a preferred spot.

Sustainability weighs ten points in the operator audit. It is not the heaviest domain, and pretending otherwise would be the dishonest move.
- Moorings preferred over anchoring where coral heads are present.
- Nusa Penida marine-area fees paid, not avoided.
- Crew hired locally, covered by BPJS Ketenagakerjaan.
- No swim entry that damages a site to make a photograph.
In practice
Three things that actually change on the water
Not pledges. These are decisions a captain makes on a specific morning, and they are the ones that matter.
Local crew
Captains and crew hired locally and covered by BPJS Ketenagakerjaan, which is checked during the operator audit rather than assumed.
Fees paid
Nusa Penida mooring and marine-area fees appear on your quote as a line billed on top. They are paid, not absorbed quietly or avoided.
Ask what we skip
If a site is closed, a current is running or a mooring is full, the day changes. Ask what the desk would drop before it drops it.
