PADI / National Geographic Diver Certification

   The National Geographic Society is synonymous with exploration, conservation and the spirit of discovery and adventure. The PADI National Geographic Certification builds on your experience as a scuba diver and expands your knowledge of oceans and aquatic ecosystems. You’ll learn about conducting research underwater and about becoming a more conservation-oriented diver.

Knowledge and curiosity are the pillars upon which all discovery is built. The PADI National Geographic course will enhance your knowledge of the working of underwater ecosystems. Combined with your own natural curiosity, you will find that you see much more in the reef or kelp forest or wherever you dive.
