PERSONAL SECURITY
USE THE BUDDY SYSTEM. It is always important to use the buddy system while on AT. Travel in groups, especially if you are not familiar with the area.
The buddy system is a must if you go swimming or snorkeling at the local beaches. Although Hawaii beaches are among the most beautiful in the world, the surf can be very dangerous, especially along the North Shore. Listen to the surf report on the local radio/TV stations for up to date information. Again…use careful judgment.
