COURSE DETAILS:
During this course, we aim to teach techniques to respect the aquatic environment (some buoyancy tips) as well as recognize different species of living beings (i.e., distinguish between sponges and corals, bone and cartilaginous fishes). Learn more about symbioses, underwater ecology, and aquatic plant and animal habitats. You’ll notice behaviors and see creatures you may have previously missed.
So, it only takes you to participate in a lesson about the key differences between the terrestrial and aquatic worlds. Learn the major aquatic life groupings, interactions, information that dispels myths, and how to interact responsibly with marine life. You then enjoy the dive while collecting data on what you see.
