Whether you're an experienced underwater explorer or recently certified, every observation contributes to one of the world's largest collaborative shark and ray conservation efforts. You'll learn how to: Collect valuable scientific data Submit observations through the PADI AWARE app Support real-world marine conservation research Make every dive count for ocean health   Learn About the Global Shark & Ray Census Become a Citizen Scientist   Take your impact even further by enrolling in the PADI Shark & Ray Conservation Specialty.
