Pointer sticks, essential tools for dive guides to highlight marine life, have seen misuse as buoyancy aids and noise-makers, which can harm the environment and misrepresent diving skills. Oceans 5 Gili Air advocates for responsible use of pointer sticks solely to enhance underwater experiences, promoting excellent buoyancy and conservation among divers.
