Underwater Naturalist Specialty Course

Complete Your Underwater Naturalist Specialty Scuba Certification Course with South Florida Diving HeadquartersEver been fascinated watching a fish or part of the reef only to have no clue what the specie’s name is and then awkwardly try to describe it to someone?

Ever wonder what makes certain species behave the way they do? We all have. If you are fascinated by underwater life and their characteristics then the Underwater Naturalist Specialty Course is perfect for you.

The U/W Naturalist 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.
