“Dive in with DAR” is meant to spread awareness and appreciation for Hawai‘i’s incredible marine resources. In addition to highlighting the projects and regulations that enable DAR to manage these resources, each episode includes information meant to empower viewers, so that they themselves can make a positive difference for the waters of Hawai‘i.
