Take the Environmentalist Course and you’ll see new things, even on the most familiar scuba diving sites. Why? Because when know more about symbioses, underwater ecology, and aquatic plant and animal habitats, you notice behaviors and see creatures you may have previously missed.
Learn more about the local ecosystem and take a closer look at your next scuba diving adventure.
Course Outline
Through class discussions and on two scuba dives, you’ll learn:
- Key differences between the terrestrial and aquatic worlds.
- Major aquatic life groupings, interactions and information that dispels myths.
- Responsible interactions with aquatic life.
Equipment
Besides your basic scuba equipment, you’ll need a slate and pencil to record your observations. Ask your Phoenix Instructor about additional equipment you may want, such as a dive light to better see into cracks and crevices.
