The value-belief-norm (VBN) theory was employed in the study, in which the values, ecological worldview, awareness of consequences, ascription of responsibility, personal norms protection behaviors were hypothesized sequentially dependent. Moreover, the current situation of the values, ecological worldview, awareness of consequences, ascription of responsibility, personal norms, and marine protection behaviors of recreational SCUBA divers in Taiwan will also be described and discussed herein. The scales of the measured items for each construtcs in the questionnaire were designed according to past related references. The questionnaire survey was conducted on the license-qualified recreational SCUBA divers in Kenting area. Totally 312 valid questionaires were collected and statistically analyzed using the SPSS 22.0 and structural equation modelling (SEM) software Amos 17.0. The analytical results show that the factors affecting the marine protection behaviors of recreational SCUBA divers in Taiwan follow the value-belief-norm causal relationship approximately. Differing with the traditional VBN theoretical model, only the biosphere value of the divers will influence their attitude toward to the ecological worldview. Moreover, the construct “awareness of consequences” does not exist in the belief structure of the VBN model. That is, low congnition was found for the the recreational SCUBA divers in the negative influences of personal diving behaviors on the marine environments. Accordingly, the results of this study provide valuable references for the managers of diving activities to develop the related industries and for the government to implement the natural conservation.
