AWARE Shark Conservation
Hawaii is the perfect place to take the PADI AWARE Shark Conservation Specialty course with one of the professional scuba instructors at Jack’s Diving Locker. Sharks are extremely important for scuba divers for a few reasons. The first, is that they are amazing and lucky to encounter in Hawaii! Second, they are important for the reef – they are keystone predators and their presence matters to the health of the reef. For these reasons and more, every diver should consider taking this course. The PADI AWARE Shark Conservation Specialty certification counts toward the PADI Master Scuba Diver rating, the highest rating in non-professional diving.
