In your journey to underwater naturalist, the course teaches you about the different major aquatic life groupings and how they interact so that you understand what you observe in the underwater environment.  With the PADI Underwater Naturalist Specialty course under your belt, you see the aquatic world differently.  You don't see "fish," but individual species with distinct strategies for surviving in a complex, interactive ecosystem.
