You are invited to visit the Sharks webpage to read general information and see many photographs regarding the forty plus species of sharks found in Hawaiian waters. The sharks in the ocean surrounding Hawaii pose little threat to human beings. Incidents are rare and occasionally the victims have not taken proper precautions. The sharks that have been responsible for the most hazards in Hawaii have been the galapagos sharks, scalloped hammerhead sharks, gray reef sharks and tiger sharks. While great white sharks can be dangerous, they do not frequent Hawaiian waters in great numbers because of their feeding habits which keep them in the open seas.
