Specialty Course – Naturalist
Introduction
Do you often get out of the water and hear everyone talking about the amazing marine life they all saw, and wonder why you didn’t see anything that they mentioned?
This course will open your eyes to the underwater world and you will develop a thirst for more knowledge as a result of participating. No longer will you be content to just swim over the bottom – every rock, every weed, every pylon will stop you in your tracks for a closer examination!
