Jeff’s Diving World is delighted to announce that instructor Jeffrey K. George has officially been awarded the PADI Specialty Instructor rating for AWARE Shark and Ray Conservation.
Awarded on 27 August 2026 by the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI), the qualification authorises Jeff to conduct the designated AWARE Shark and Ray Conservation Specialty course.
This latest achievement further strengthens the specialist diver training available through Jeff’s Diving World in Weston-super-Mare, while reflecting Jeff’s continuing commitment to professional development, safe diving and marine conservation.
PADI AWARE Shark and Ray Conservation Specialty Instructor
Sharks and rays are among the ocean’s most extraordinary animals, but many species face significant pressures from human activity, habitat degradation and unsustainable fishing practices.
As an AWARE Shark and Ray Conservation Specialty Instructor, Jeff can help divers develop a greater understanding of these important marine species, the challenges they face and the practical role divers can play in protecting the underwater environment.
The course is about far more than simply seeing sharks and rays underwater. It encourages divers to become better informed, environmentally responsible ambassadors for the marine world.
Another Step Forward for Jeff’s Diving World
Becoming a PADI Specialty Instructor represents another important milestone for Jeff and Jeff’s Diving World.
Jeff’s approach to diver training combines theory with practical skills, real-world diving experience and flexible tuition. Students can learn in a supportive environment while developing the knowledge, confidence and watermanship required to become safer and more capable divers.
The new specialty qualification complements Jeff’s existing diving instruction and provides another opportunity for divers to continue their education beyond their initial scuba qualifications.
