PRO-DIVE is the worlds leader in SCUBA diver training
Underwater Research Diver
This course is a mini introduction to Marine Biology and research techniques for scuba divers.
You will learn about the fish and animals of the oceans.
On a field trip to a tidal area, we will observe and discuss the inhabitants in their own environments.
After completing the section on Underwater Naturalist from your Adventures in Diving Manual, the two theory sessions will astound you with so much information, you will not be able to resist the urge to go diving with your new-found knowledge of the underwater world.
Diatoms, microscopic in size are an important part of the food chain and are necessary for all marine life to survive.
You will learn the importance of plankton and other related animals that live in our marine environment.
Animals come in all shapes and sizes- You will learn the different areas that are labelled in this diagram and you will be able to identify these areas and apply them to other similar parts in similar animals.
The bio assemblages of a coral reef contain so many life forms you will be hard pressed to identify everything on a single dive.
Sponges that filter their food from the ocean, coral polyps that use poison to catch their food and plants that look like plants but are really animals that don't move.
Animals that camouflage themselves to look like plants to capture their food.There are so many ways we can view the
marine environment, you will learn quite a few different methods to see them as they really are.
