Marine Awareness & Research
		QTY:
Marine Awareness Research Distinctive Next time you go for a dive, look closer to see what is really going on around you-  Look for symbioses, predator/prey and other relationships between aquatic plant and animal life. Learn not just what fish and animals are, but how they interact with each other and the environment. The Fun Part Do you understand the effect of water upon humans? Can you recognise a dangerous marine organism or situation?  If your answer to both these questions is No? Pro-Dive Central Coast Marine Awareness Course is designed with you in mind. What You Learn Many divers do not realise they are causing damage to our marine environment whilst, many distinct marine animals have been devastated by either pollution, over-fishing or plain ignorance. Becoming aware is something we all have to learn. The Marine Awareness course is designed to help our future generations to enjoy our wonderful marine environment in the same manner we can today. The Scuba Gear You Use You use all the basic scuba gear, depending on what type of diving you will be doing, you may also want to use underwater photography equipment, DPV's (underwater scooters), a dive torch, a dry suit, marine ID charts, quadrants, dive floats and data lines or other specialty gear.
