    Education and Conservation of these big, beautiful fishies!
    Jim K.

    Super cool group doing super important work, helping to educate the public and inspire curiosity and wonder for these awesome animals. To be perfectly honest, I don't know and have never met any of the folks involved with this group but I see and hear the results of their work constantly. Just over the past few days (it's 12/30/17 now) they've been involved with 3 shark autopsies that appear to be a result of "cold shock", which basically froze these sharks to death! Whoa. That's crazy cold. I happen to be on the Cape right now and can attest to how cold it is to the point where Cape Cod Bay has frozen over quite a bit, which is insane when you realize it's SALT water! Anyway, these folks are doing really cool, important and interesting work - glad they are!

    Highly recommend especially for those with young kids. AWSC is both educational and fun, demystifying the great white shark. I first went a few years ago and have been back a few times since. I've also attended a couple of lectures they have had as well as whale and shark expeditions which I highly recommend. LOVE.

    We found this place while being a tourist in Chatham. It's a little ways out of town and has a dedicated parking lot. This non-for-profit has been open a year for the benefit of teaching about sharks. Adults $5 donation is worth the money to see the dedicated research, videos, artifacts, and especially the Virtual Reality shark dives. They have non scary ones for young children and a night dive that makes adults look around behind them as it is so real. Picnic tables and games outside for extra entertainment. Don't forget to go outside to the patio to dig for a real tooth in the sand. They make a free necklace for you out of it and give you stickers on your way out. There is a gift shop for items where proceeds benefit the conservatories efforts. Nice young people working there. Highly recommend this.

    Outside you can dig for shark teeth in sand bins and they will make a necklace or bracelet out of it for free.

    Excellent service the owner is a true professional. Healthy Homes Inspections provided me guidance…read moreand advice through the whole process, they were very fair with their estimate and the final pricing was spot on. I would recommend their service to anyone.

    We were having some people in our administrative office complain that they were feeling ill with…read moreheadaches and nausea in certain parts of the building. After a through investigation we had noticed what looked like some mold spores in some areas of the building on the walls. I was recommended to Leo from Healthy Homes a certified mold inspector and remediation contractor located in Chatham Ma. Leo was very prompt and very experienced in all areas of mold. He performed several sample tests throughout the building and sent the samples to a certified lab. The results came back and showed the areas that a specific mold was present and it could cause headaches and nausea in very sensitive people. Leo recommended a through cleaning with special mold cleaners for the entire facility. Leo was able to determine it was not present in any of the wall cavities or heating and air condition duct work which would of cost us several thousands to have to replace. Being a non for profit Health Care organization Leo fully understood the cost complications and was very honest in his recommendations. We followed his recommendations and he was able to do a full clean of the entire building. After Leo finished he did a new sample test and sure enough it came back negative and our employees immediately noticed a difference in the air quality and the issues they were having went away. I would highly recommend Healthy Homes as Leo has such a vast knowledge of this industry and is very trust worthy always looking out for the most cost effective way to solve your air quality issues and is very pleasant to work with.
