By taking this course, you are going to enrich all of your future dives. In PADI’s Underwater Naturalist Course (79186) you will learn how to find the smallest animals and to differentiate between the different species. When you know more about aquatic plant and animal habitats, their symbioses, and underwater ecology, you’ll be able to notice behaviours and see creatures you may have missed before. This will transform even the most familiar dive site into a new adventure.
What does this course cover? Course topics include key differences between the terrestrial and aquatic worlds, major aquatic life groupings and their interactions. Most importantly, you will refresh your knowledge on responsible interactions with aquatic life. To know how some species react, might just get you a little closer so that you can observe them in tranquillity.
