*Important Note for Divers
Sawfish are protected under the Endangered Species Act. Our divers help protect this critically endangered species by following NOAA Fisheries viewing guidelines available at www.SawfishRecovery.org. These guidelines aid our divers in safely, respectfully, and legally enjoying their encounter with a sawfish. The most important thing we follow when viewing a sawfish is to not disrupt its natural behavior. We don’t disturb, chase, feed, or touch any sawfish we encounter while diving.
