PADI offer a specialist dive course for those divers whom wish to increase their buoyancy control and observation skills whilst being able to get closer to the marine life without causing any disruption.
By taking part in one of the national geographic diving courses you will learn begin a journey of underwater exploration more advanced than your previous qualifications, spotting new life and sights under the water in sites you may have dived multiple times. The core lesson from national geographic diving courses is to conserve the diving environment whilst exploring the underwater world through adventurous experiences that may involve increased danger or risk.
By demonstrating human stewardship and conservation whilst diving as a result of completing one of the national geographic diving courses you will be able to study the unknown whilst protecting the natural environment from loss or waste.
Loren Eisley in 1957 summed up the importance of the underwater world in one pristine sentence, “If there is magic on the planet it is contained in water”.
You will learn as part of the national geographic diving courses how to hover horizontally, with your feet slightly elevated and with your head slightly elevated. You will also demonstrate that you can complete the exploration project by gathering info and image and create a visual representation of the dive site detailing specific features.
Once you have completed these sections you will need to demonstrate that you can either navigate a square or rectangle patter using compass headings and natural references to return to the starting point or locate and identify a range of plants and marine life during your dive in either fresh or salt water.
The range of national geographic diving courses available worldwide are varied in the marine life you will encounter however the course completion will result in the same abilities, the means of being able to conserve and explore whilst altering the scene before you as little as possible. Leonardo Da Vinci coined the term well “Water is the driving force of all nature” and therefore for us to learn how to interact in that environment without altering the scene is somewhat of a gift that in my opinion all divers should adhere to.
Some of the most popular places to complete some of the national geographic diving courses is whilst discovering Palaus walls, Mexican cenotes, Sabas pinnacles, New Zealands archways,
Maldives Seamounts or in Bonne Terre Mine. Another popular destination to complete one of the national geographic diving courses is in The Red Sea amongst some of the richest marine life on the planet. Dahab and Sharm el Sheikh offer each of the courses
