🦈🌍 Shark Awareness Day — with IANTD

At IANTD, we believe that diving is not just about exploring the ocean — it’s about understanding it, respecting it, and protecting it.
Today, on Shark Awareness Day, we celebrate some of the ocean’s most misunderstood and essential creatures: sharks and rays.

These animals are not the villains we once believed — they are guardians of the marine ecosystem, keeping our oceans balanced and alive.
As divers, we are witnesses of their elegance and vulnerability.
As educators, we are responsible for spreading awareness and inspiring change.

Let’s shift the narrative.
Let’s replace fear with fascination.
Let’s dive with purpose.

🩵 Protect what protects the ocean.
🦈 Respect sharks. Support conservation.
🌊 Educate through diving.
