Underwater Naturalist Diver
You’ll see new things, even on the most familiar scuba diving sites. Why? Because when to know more about symbioses, underwater ecology, and aquatic plant and animal habitats, you notice behaviors and see creatures you may have previously missed. Learn more about the local ecosystem and take a closer look on your next scuba diving adventure.
What You Will Learn
Through class discussions and on two scuba dives, you’ll learn:
-
The major aquatic life groupings, interactions and factual information that dispels negative myths.
-
The role of aquatic plants, food chains, and predator-prey relationships
-
Responsible interactions with aquatic life
-
The underwater naturalist’s view of organisms and their roles in the environment
You put this information into practice during your two open water dives.
Prerequisites
PADI (Junior) Open Water Divers or higher, who are at least 10 years old, are eligible to take the Underwater Naturalist course.
The Fun Part
Learn about why some creatures behave the way they do and what their role is in the aquatic ecosystem.
