DOSSIER: LEARN TO DIVE, OBSERVE AND RECORD DATA ON ONE OF THE MOST STUNNING & RARE SHARKS IN THE WORLD

The thresher shark specialty combines participation in a range of educational talks and workshops alongside diving experiences. Topics include comparing general and thresher shark anatomy, conservation issues surrounding shark populations, specific information on sharks in the local area, and how you can get involved to help protect rare sharks. Divers will put ground-breaking shark diving techniques in practice with undertaking shark-spotting and identification dives in the Philippines.

Mission Statement

The PADI Thresher Shark Diver Specialty Course has been written by our associate dive centre in the Philippines and exclusive to our associate organisation for our expeditions in the Philippines.

Alongside diver theoretical development sessions on general shark and thresher shark behaviour and impact, divers will complete two dives and learn how to dive with thresher sharks. You will lead a dive in search of sharks. Divers will observe the sharks and add the information to the thresher shark database.

Sharks are beautiful animals, and if you're lucky enough to see lots of them, that means that you're in a healthy ocean. You should be afraid if you are in the ocean and don't see sharks.
- Sylvia Earle

Divers engage with theoretical course content as well as two shark dives at the world famous thresher shark dive site. During the two dives you will focus on the location and how to dive with the thresher sharks. You will lead a dive in search of sharks & observe the sharks and add the information to our shark database. 

In addition, divers become aware of the plight of the thresher shark in our oceans, become a marine protector and help to increase awareness and spread the word. Sharks in general, are facing mortal danger from a variety of threats as they travel the oceans.
