Underwater Naturalist

$150.00

Take the Underwater Naturalist Specialty course and you’ll see new things, even on the most familiar scuba diving sites. Why? Because when you 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 on your next scuba diving adventure.

(Junior) Open Water Divers who are at least 10 years old are eligible to take the Underwater Naturalist Specialty course.

Category: Continuing Education Scuba Certification
  • Description

Product Description

Academic

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.

The first dive of this Specialty Diver course may credit as an Adventure Dive toward your Advanced Open Water Diver certification – ask your instructor about earning credit.

Equipment

Besides your basic scuba equipment, you’ll need a slate and pencil to record your observations. Ask your Instructor or Aquarius Scuba staff about additional equipment you may want, such as a dive light to better see into cracks and crevices.

Getting Started

Pick up your Underwater Naturalist Manual at the dive shop as you enroll in the course. After reading the manual and filling out the Knowledge Review, you’re ready to meet with your Instructor and plan your underwater naturalist dives.

  • Enriched Air Diver

    $149.00 – $249.00

    *PLEASE NOTE: There is a $50 fee for less than 1 weeks’ notice of rescheduling or cancelling your course.*


    The Enriched Air Diver course (Basic Nitrox) is our most popular specialty scuba course. Why? Because scuba diving with enriched air nitrox gives you more no decompression time, especially on repetitive scuba dives. If staying down longer and getting back in the water sooner sounds appealing, then don’t hesitate to become an enriched air diver.

    If you’re a (Junior) Open Water Diver who is at least 12 years old, you can enroll in the Enriched Air Diver Specialty course. Note that in some regions the minimum age is older than 12.

    Can’t make it to class? We’re flexible! Choose the Elearning option and contact the store to schedule a “Quick Review” with an instructor at your convenience.

    Course Time: 7:00 – 9:30 pm

  • Dry Suit Diver

    $150.00

    Want to stay warm? Want to extend your scuba diving season? Then dive dry. A dry suit seals you off from the water and keeps you comfortable, even in surprisingly cold water. There is incredible diving in the world’s cooler regions and in some areas, conditions are even better in colder months. You will enjoy diving the wrecks of Tobermory and Brockville even more. Becoming a dry suit diver allows you to expand your boundaries and dive more places, more often.

    If you’re at least 10 years old and certified as a (Junior) Open Water Diver or higher, you can enroll in the Dry Suit Diver course.

    Drysuit course 1
    Pool Date: May 25 1pm-4:30pm
    Open Water Date: June 15 9:30am-2pm

    Drysuit Course 2

    Open Water Date: June 22 9:30am-2pm

    Dry Suit Manual: $99.99
    Dry Suit & Thermal Underwear Rental: $120
    Equipment Rental (3 tanks, weights, regulator, BCD): $130

  • Ice Diver

    $100.00 – $399.00

    If extreme, unusual and challenging scuba diving scenarios appeal to you, try diving under the ice. Ice diving is one of the most adventurous scuba specialties because you confront conditions and see beauty few others ever experience. Plus, you might get a chance to play with your exhaled bubbles on the bottom of the ice. Flash your Ice Diver certification card to get instant respect, and usually a lot of questions from other divers about what it’s like under the ice.

    You need to be an Advanced Open Water Diver who is at least 18 years old to enroll in the Ice Diver course. Six divers minimum required for safety reasons.

    Deep Diver

    $200.00

    The lure of the deep. There’s something exciting and mysterious about exploring deeper dive sites while scuba diving. Sometimes it’s a wreck that attracts you below 18 metres/60 feet, and on wall dives it may be a giant fan or sponge. Whatever it is, to scuba dive with confidence at depths down to 40 metres/130 feet, you should take the Deep Diver Specialty course.

    If you’ve earned the Adventure Diver rating or higher, and you’re at least 15 years old, you can enroll in the Deep Diver course.

    Course materials required. Boat charter additional.
