Scuba Emporium Makes a Difference

During the month of October 2011, Scuba Emporium wanted to make a difference when it came to shark awareness. Patrick Hammer and I set up an all out, in-store campaign. We managed to accomplish quite a bit:

· We are currently working with our entire Scuba Emporium Instructional Staff, so they can properly teach the new PADI Distinctive Specialty - AWARE Shark Conservation. This will include having them certified as instructors for this course.

Project AWARE at DEMA

Laura and I attended (2) very informative seminars at DEMA during the past week. Dive Against Debris: Moving Beyond Cleanups, by Ania Budziak and AWARE 2.0: Building Your Local Ocean Movement, by Jenny Miller-Garmendia.

These seminars were not only informative, but also motivating. The work that everyone is doing is making such an important impact on the environment, however there is still so, much more to do.
