In a profession where training, preparation, and safety are non-negotiable, we have an immense amount of respect for those who hold themselves to the same standards.
The crews @oneoceandiving exemplifies this through their dedication, hard work, professionalism, and commitment to safety. It’s clear that what they do goes far beyond taking people into the ocean. They ensure everyone’s safety (including the sharks) is priority! 
Every experience with them has been nothing short of incredible. Thank you, @oneoceandiving for never compromising on safety while creating unforgettable, life-changing experiences. We have so much respect for your entire crew and are proud to support you! Much love to you all!! 
This is why we always go out with @oneoceandiving @oceanramsey @juansharks

Please watch the video to the end; I address recent questions throughout ⛑️Ask how much & how often guides train and work before you book a 🦈dive

I take shark-diving safety seriously and I hope you do too. I never want anyone to lose a limb, life or loved one. If an accident occurs, sharks could be blamed or killed in retaliation. Our responsibility is to protect guests, crew & the sharks’ reputation. That’s why @OneOceanDiving safety divers train extensively before guiding alone. Sharing our safety training process:

Before training, interested people can voluntarily join trips as often as they want to observe/shadow, see if it’s a fit & let us assess base water skills. They cannot get seasick & must have a minimum 90-second breath-hold to start actual training. This time allows them to build h20 skills + dial gear. 

During training, daily hours depend on weather, bookings & how much time they choose to commit. Compensation varies: some train part-time while working other jobs or company roles; some receive stipends and free housing. Most trainees make social posts from training notes & receive pay per post.All applicants are screened & informed of training and post-sign-off rates in advance so they can decide financials. 

We request 2–3-year noncompetes due to training expenditure but haven’t enforced them in 6+ years &
NDA’s protect projects.

Training takes 1–3 months depending on skill & learning speed. People who do part-time take longer. We encourage, not require, a 30-day challenge to build muscle memory & experience the intensity of working with apex predators even when tired while not responsible for guests, under an actual safety diver & divemaster.That’s the training I’d want for anyone guiding my family. Trainees take time off as needed; no one has been cut for personal time off.

Before sign-off, divers must deter/redirect sandbar, Galápagos & tiger sharks; recognize behaviors leading to close approaches; help guests follow safety rules; respond effectively to 🦈 behavior; and complete bite-response, emergency-equipment & COI drills. There’s much more to this serious safety training. Sharks are powerful apex predato

This is such a tough post to make and I know so many critics will jump at anything to attack me about but I’m doing this for the other women out there who have experienced sexual assault, and for all the others that I hope this post can help to avoid. 
Handling or responding to something like this is not going to be the perfect response in anyone’s eyes and I’ve experienced a lot of bullies in social media so just a heads up if you’re mean in comments, no one needs that, especially around such a sensitive topic so I’m not making space for those types of people. 
Other questions people had that I think were not addressed in yesterdays posts we can make another post about.  This topic and issue is the most immediately important thing to put out to help women stay safer. 
Much love and aloha and while we get lots of messages, we will do our best to compile and get back to people bout anything important in the dive and wildlife community anytime we are made aware of it. 
Thank you for your patience and kindness and sharing methods to help others stay safer as they travel the world to work or dive and enjoy time with wildlife in the wild 🩵🦈🩵

Putting this post out to answer some recent questions : 
1. I love the team @Oneoceandiving I’m so proud of each of them & the work they do every day educating people from all around about the importance of sharks while keeping them safe, teaching methods of coexistence, collecting marine debris & noninvasive data. Together we’ve helped move the needle to get sharks protected here & around the world with your support
2. Check my most recent highlight & reach out to them directly to learn about what it’s like at One Ocean Diving. Every year we strive to improve in all we do (including our training and brief)to increase our positive impact & help our community like we do with reef & beach cleanups, free educational outreach events, posts for more than 10 years. When the floods hit North Shore earlier this year we paid our jawsome team to go help clean the beaches & neighboring homes 🩵
3. Training to be a shark-safety diver is, and should be, very tough. You wouldn’t want your limbs or family members to be guided by someone who never trained to handle sharks when they are tired or having an “off-day.”
4. You cannot learn to do what we do in a book or university, there’s no substitution for time in the water so people train extensively for months & part of that training is a daily recap social post they get paid to make so they are not only training for in-water work, but also for communication & sharing with the public in social media for the community too. Passing on knowledge to help others, which is why I choose to use social media.
5. Social Media has also unfortunately become a place where some people spread misinformation & derail conversations off of conservation & other more serious things.
6. I went through a lot when I was younger, things I’ll never talk about because I chose for them to make me stronger = I’ve experienced the not nice side of people so much, but I’ve also met & tried to help many other good people along the way. I choose to stay positive & thank you for your support for the sake of my team who are like ohana to me & shark conservation, because the sharks are like ohana to me too & I will continue to look out for th

🦈✨ Meet one of our FINtastic captains, Nalikolani  @liko ✨🦈 A native Hawaiian 🌺 who has been working with One Ocean Since 2022

If you’ve ever had the pleasure of being on a charter with Liko, you already know… she’s THE dolphin & whale whisperer 🐬🐋💙 and she’ll have you giggling the whole way!

Originally from the west side of Oʻahu, we’re beyond lucky to have this ocean-loving legend on our team here on the North Shore 🌊🤙🏽

Liko is truly one of a kind — so much so that she even has her very own shark named after her! 🦈💫

She’s even great in the water spotting sharks and diving and could be a shark safety diver if she wanted too ❤️🦈❤️😍🦈😍

Say Aloha to #SharkIDNaLiko! 🦈💙
