Overview AWARE Shark Conservation Speciality on Gili Meno

1 day – 2 open water dives – meet the Gili sharks

Many people are frightened of sharks, but these awe-inspiring fish are crucial for healthy oceans and are truly amazing to dive with. In the PADI AWARE Shark Conservation Speciality program, you will learn why they are often misunderstood and how to dive with them. But not only that, you will also learn the threats that sharks are facing and why many shark species are in danger of becoming extinct.

Learn how scientists monitor sharks and the important role they play in marine ecosystems and human economies. By the end of the course, you’ll know fact from fiction and be inspired to take action for shark conservation.

We will use the two dives to visit different dive sites where we usually find sharks so you will get the unique chance to observe and dive with these magical yet feared creatures.

During this course you will learn:
  • Unique physical attributes of sharks
  • Conservation status of sharks
  • Life history traits that make sharks vulnerable
  • The importance of sharks to a marine eco system
  • Threats to sharks
  • Management strategies to protect sharks
  • Value to local economies
  • Misperceptions of sharks

 

Upon completion, you will earn the PADI AWARE Shark Conservation Speciality certification.
