100% AWARE Partner Rainbow Divers, Vietnam is FINatical about sharks and determined to make a difference.

Hosting the first Finathon in Vietnam they said “We had a great day with lots of fun! Tug of war and the floatable race were definitely the highlights of our Beach Olympics. Additionally we had good laughs during the three leg race and the egg on the spoon with fins on race,” said Marta Dils.

This shark loving team raised funds through raffle ticket sales and a delicious BBQ back at the Rainbow Divers store just before the rain started.

“100% AWARE Partners make a regular donation to Project AWARE every month and all their students receive the AWARE version of the PADI certification card. It’s great to see our dedicated partners joining a fun challenge like the Finathon to raise awareness for such an important cause,” said Joanna McNamara Project AWARE Communications Specialist.

A big thanks to everyone who ran, swam, and did the egg and spoon in FINS! For more information about Project AWARE’s race to protect sharks visit www.finathon.org
