Underwater Naturalist

Are you fascinated with aquatic life? Always wondering what that fish is and why it always dances under a coral head whenever you get close? If you're engrossed with life under the surface, the PADI Underwater Naturalist Specialty course is especially for you. In your journey to underwater naturalist, the course teaches you about the different major aquatic life groupings and how they interact so that you understand what you observe in the underwater environment. With the PADI Underwater Naturalist Specialty course under your belt, you see the aquatic world differently. You don't see "fish," but individual species with distinct strategies for surviving in a complex, interactive ecosystem. In this course you will get an overview of aquatic life groupings and interrelations. We will teach you the role of aquatic plants, food chains and predator prey relationships. You will learn responsible interactions with aquatic life.
