PADI Naturalist Diver
The PADI Underwater Naturalist Speciality course with Borneo Dream in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia has the following three purposes:-
- Create an awareness. The submarine world is different from the terrestrial world. Those who venture underwater are in a unique position to observe and interact with organisms entirely different than those on land. In a sense, those who enter the underwater world are a privileged group, they have first-hand personal experiences with aquatic life.
- Evoke a sense of responsibility. With any privilege comes responsibility. It is the responsibility of recreational divers to accept and foster a sense of respect for aquatic organisms.
- Expand the public’s knowledge of the aquatic environment. As the saying goes, knowledge is the key to understanding.
