PADI Scuba diving courses in the warm Caribbean waters of the Dominican Republic

Underwater Naturalist

Interested in aquatic life? Then this program is for you! You will need to be a PADI Open Water Diver (Junior Open Water Diver or equivalent) and be at least 10 years old. Your PADI Underwater Naturalist program will include two open water dives. These dives will introduce you to different aquatic life and include an overview of responsible human interactions with aquatic life. Some of the topic covered are:

The planning, organization, procedures, techniques, problems and hazards of diving in different aquatic environments - A basic overview of major aquatic life groupings - Factual information that dispels myths of potentially dangerous aquatic life - An overview of basic aquatic life interactions and associations - Responsible human interactions with aquatic life - Diving technique used to help preserve bottom dwelling aquatic life and minimize aquatic life disturbance.

The elective Underwater Naturalist dive from the Adventures In Diving program may count toward the certification requirements for this specialty at the instructor’s discretion.

PADI courses offer the most comprehensive and modern diver training available in the world today.
