There is "SOME-FIN" Fascinating about Sharks!  Since a "Week" isn't long enough to celebrate (and there was such a "JAWSOME" Response to our first Auction), we've added NEW Auction (with NEW Prizes), expanding for Shark "MONTH".  Bidding will end on Monday Night (9/15/25, 9pm).

The Community seems "hooked" on these fun Online Auctions: for Auction #1, there were 321 Bids - and we awarded 56 Prizes.  These included Philippines and Belize Trips, Underwater Metal Detectors, Amusement Park Tickets, Megalodon Shark Teeth, ScubaPro Regulator, Luna Dive Computer, Pokemon, CT-Sun Basketball, Yard Goats Baseball, Scuba Classes, Yale Football, Turtle Towels, Lionfish T-Shirts, and Shark Swimsuits.  Congratulations to all the Bidders!

And then.... we had a BIG Surprise!  Donors and Divers sent MORE NEW PRIZES - and asked us to expand Online Auction #1, so more Guests could participate.  So we created NEW AUCTION #2 (for Shark "Month", along with Women's Dive Day), with NEW PRIZES.  This will close on 9/15/25.  This Auction is a Nonprofit Charity Fundraiser: each bid supports Important Causes: Shark Conservation, Environmental Sustainability, Oceans, and Marine Life.

This Auction works similar to eBay (and you can review all the prizes for FREE).  If you decide you'd like to BID, DONATE, or ENTER the "Trip Raffle", you'll be asked to please create an Account (with name, email, password, and credit card).

"Trip Raffle" details appear on the Donation Page; no Auction Purchase is necessary.  For our SHARK MONTH Celebration, H2O Planet + Enfield Scuba offered 4 TRIPS (donated by favorite Resorts in Philippines, Belize, Grand Cayman, and Bahamas).  Philippines and Belize were awarded on 7/22; Grand Cayman and Bahamas will be awarded on 8/4.  You do NOT have to be a "Diver" to win or enjoy them (although each Trip DOES include Scuba Dives and most meals)  Plus, YOU choose your location!

To thank our Community, every $20 Donation Increment to "H2O Planet" recieves a free "Trip Raffle" Entry.  You choose where: GRAND CAYMAN (Sunset House, 3 Days) or BAHAMAS (All-Star Liveaboard Blackbeards Cruises or Cat Ppalu, 7 days).  For every $20 Increment, you'll receive an ADDITIONAL ENTRY. (So donate $20, receive 1 "Raffle Entry"... $40 gets "2 Entries"... $80 gets 4, etc).  No other purchase is required; it's our way to say THANK YOU for Saving Sharks.  The Grand Cayman and Bahamas Trips are valued at approximately $1500 each (and you can win either one, with just a $20 Raffle Ticket!)
