PADI® Underwater Naturalist Specialty: Understand better Marine Life

1 day | 2 Open Water Dives

 

Explore the diversity of aquatic animals in the Ocean around Koh Tao!

happy-divers-and-lion-fish-in-koh-tao

Understand better the local ecosystem and marine species living in their natural environment.

Learn to identify fishes and animals and how they interact with each other and the environment. Look for symbioses, predators and prey, and other relationships between aquatic animals and plants.

Almost 71 percent of the Earth's surface is covered with water, and our oceans hold approximately 96.5% of all the Earth's water. It is natural to be curious about this vast percentage of our planet.

If you are interested in marine biology and ecosystem, this is the ideal course. Step beyond the Fish Identification Specialty course and learn about the plant, animal, and environment relationships.

  

Let's earn your PADI® Underwater Naturalit Specialty Certification!

IMPORTANT! -Flying after Diving

When planning your diving trip and your journey toward your destinations, always remember that you must not fly directly after scuba diving. It accentuates the risk of having decompression sickness.

diver-do-not-fly-for-18-hours-after-diving

The PADI guidelines are to NOT FLY during a 12 hours interval after a single dive and 18 hours after multiple dives. As often when it comes to scuba diving, take a conservative approach to safety, and whenever possible, avoid flying the next 24 hours after a dive.

If you intend to do multiple dives on different days during your trip, consider buying your own dive computer, as it will calculate the optimal time to fly based on your diving history.

Even more than other outdoor sports, diving is weather- and sea-dependent. Be aware that some sites might be inaccessible on certain days and that diving trips might be canceled due to dangerous conditions.

Luckily, Thailand has a fantastic climate almost all year round and this happens very rarely.
