This specialty lasts 1 day (2 dives).

Are you fascinated by aquatic life?

This course teaches you about the different major aquatic life groupings and how they interact, in order to better understand what you observe in the underwater environment.
With the PADI Underwater Naturalist Specialty course under your belt, you will see the aquatic world differently. You don’t see “fish", but individual species with distinct strategies for surviving in a complex, interactive ecosystem.

You must be a PADI Open Water Diver or Junior Open Water Diver (or qualifying certification from another organisation).

The course includes:

• Overview of aquatic life groupings and interrelations
• The role of aquatic plants, food chains and predator / prey relationships
• Responsible interactions with aquatic life

Certification counts toward the PADI Master Scuba Diver rating.
