How We Support One Ocean Diving’s Mission
We amplify their groundbreaking work by:
1. Local Advocacy
- Hosting **free seminars** on shark behavior (e.g., *"How to Coexist with Sharks in O‘ahu"*).
- Partners with local schools and kūpuna to honor sharks as ʻaumakua while teaching their vital role in Hawaiian culture and ocean ecosystems. We bridge ancestral wisdom with modern science, showing how sharks maintain healthy fisheries, clean coastal waters, and carry deep spiritual significance, empowering keiki to become stewards who will protect both marine life and cultural traditions for future generations.
2. Exclusive Merchandise
- Profits from our **limited-edition Hawaii gear** (shirts, stickers) directly fund:
- monthly reef and beach clean ups around the islands and help our marine entanglment program that removes fishingline from marine animals.
- Youth education programs like *"Keiki Shark Ambassadors."*
3. Ethical Tourism
- Promote **One Ocean Diving’s tours** as the **only science-backed shark experiences** on O‘ahu’s North Shore.
- Share **local success stories** (e.g., *"How Our Community Reduced Shark Fishing"*).
Join Our Hawaii-Specific Efforts

RESEARCH
Founded for a collaborative research program gathering data for over four different current shark research studies, the One Ocean Diving Pelagic Program was adapted by internationally recognized shark and marine biologist, Ocean Ramsey to serve as a major conservation effort and to help assist with funding for ongoing studies of sharks.
What started with sharks has now grown to encompass the Honu (Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle) and Humpback whales!

EDUCATION
Our hope is to spread the word about the importance of protecting marine animals, and to encourage people globally to take action and use their voice to stand up for all these amazing species!
We seek to educate people through multiple platforms: personally through our dives, social media, giving school presentations, and working with individuals and groups internationally too support their research and conservation efforts through @oneoceanglobal
CONSERVATION
Facilitating and inspiring the connection of human beings to protect the animals within our oceans and the marine ecosystems and environment through first-hand experience. During our dives you learn about shark, sea turtle and whale biology and how it plays into their behavior, body language and human impacts on the survival of these marine species.
Check out our conservation page by clicking the "LEARN MORE" button below to get involved in local conservation efforts and learn about the threats facing sharks, sea turtles and whales, and how you can help get involved!
and YOU
One Ocean Diving would not be possible without all of you! We believe experiencing these animals first-hand helps steward a respectful relationship. It is our hope that after learning about these animals and the threats facing them you can use your voice to help spread the word! You as an individual can make a huge difference in changing the perspectives of people and helping them better understand the importance of protecting what lies beneath the ocean's surface.
