What to expect

If you have ever been scuba diving and not known the name of an invertebrate, a Coral or an unusual symbiotic relationship taking place before your eyes, the PADI Underwater Naturalist specialty is the diving course for you.

You get so much more out of diving if you are able to recognize the marine life, their characteristics and the activity they are involved in as they go about their daily business in and around the local reefs.
