Shark Diver Specialty

SHARKS NEED OUR UNDERSTANDING Sharks are crucial to marine ecosystems. They maintain a balance in populations of prey species and keep the ocean healthy by removing ill or diseased animals. They are an important resource supporting local economies through fishing and as an attraction to dive tourists. But sharks are in a global decline. Over fishing has reduced many shark populations around the world to levels that threaten their continued existence.    We will show you why sharks are so important and the things we can all do to help protect our friends the sharks. We hope after this course you will become a champion of shark protection and take action to help the sharks!   Minimum age: 12 years old   Note: we include your educational materials and your certification card with 1-2 training dives depending on your program.  Travel expenses are not included.  Training dives are best from Catalina shore or from one of our dive boat trips but can be from our Malibu beaches (you need to be experienced beach diver) Choose date(s) that are best for you or when we are conducting weekend ocean dives in Catalina or are diving from a boat or the beach.  Dives are best when you have experience and mastery of neutral buoyancy before attempting a navigation dive.
