This is the consistent change of heart for nearly all passengers who embark on the shark-viewing tour with Hawaii Shark Encounters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Nervous,&#8221; said Natasha Brolic, of Melbourne, Australia, prior to boarding Kainani. Like most aboard the tour, Brolic had never been in the water with sharks before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019ve had 5-year-old girls in the cage before, you\u2019ll be just fine,&#8221; said Captain Rich Whyte, skipper of the Kainani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"690\" height=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mhoiCUX003A?list=PL4hYTOAQ-Qk56YrnAI2ix8W5d2lst4T_h\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>A 20-minute ride offshore takes passengers to the moored shark cage, which sits in about 700 feet of water.

Crew members talk about the different species of shark found in Hawaiian waters. First Mate Darrin Whittaker passes around a variety of shark teeth, with some fossilized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Never buy unfossilized shark teeth, because chances are, the shark was killed on purpose in order to get that tooth,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shark conservation is the major theme for Hawaii Shark Encounters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone is-resized size-full wp-image-36201\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hawaii.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/FTR-sharkdiving-141.jpg\" alt=\"Ocean Ramsey of One Ocean Diving dives down to identify a Galapagos shark during a cageless shark viewing expedition with One Ocean Diving off Haleiwa on Oahu's North Shore.
