Come scuba diving in Murcia. If your interest is in the aquatic life below the waters surface then the PADI Underwater Naturalist Speciality is just for you. The waters around the bay of Mazarron are home to a variety of species from all parts of the food chain from the top of the chain predators (ie Barracuda, Dentex and Octopus ) to various seaweeds on which the prey species and Nudibranchs graze upon. If we are realy lucky we may even come across Fire worms and Scorpion fish.
This course will realy open your eyes on what signs to look for, how to spot these creatures, what does an Octopus's garden look like? and whats more do they exist? and also how these creatures interact with each other. During the course you will learn how to plan an Underwater Naturalist dive, what problems you may encounter and the truth behind those age old negative myths. You will learn what creatures can pack a punch and the best way to approach (or not to approach) them.
The course consists of 2 dives and takes no longer than 1 day, however we can accomodate the schedual to your personal requirements and needs. During the course you will also gain an insight into what the marine life is like when diving in Mazarron.
Pre-requisites for the PADI Underwater Naturalist speciality course are that the student provides a signed (by a practising physician) medical certificate prooving fitness to dive and is a PADI Open Water Diver or equivalent from another recognised diving agency.
The course fee includes the PADI Underwater Naturalist manual, Equipment hire, Boat fees, Tution and PADI Certification fees are also included in the price.
After completion of the PADI Underwater Naturalist Speciality Course why not consider enroling for either the PADI Night Diver Speciality and see the difference between daytime creatures and those that prowl the dive sites of Mazarron at night or maybe even the PADI Digital Underwater photography speciality and add to the memories with some classy photographs, all speciality courses count towards the PADI Master Scuba Diver certification.
