Some of the other PADI courses that combine well with knowing how to recognise fish behaviour and their relationship with their environment includes, the Project Aware course, the Coral Reef Conservationist course, the PADI National Geographic Diver certification and one of the most popular PADI programmes, the Digital Underwater Photographer Specialty Course.

Project Aware - The benefits of understanding the plight of our fragile aquatic ecosystems are available to all, both divers and non-divers, because the underwater world that we need to survive, is being threatened.
The project AWARE course is stimulating and informative, but for more information please visit www.projectaware.org

Coral Reef Conservation - Learn about the plight of the world's coral reefs, and how to become involved in conservation efforts to protect and conserve coral reef formations.

Digital Underwater Photography - There are two versions of the underwater photography course. Depending on which type of underwater camera you are using, there is the film or digital certification available.

Peak Performance Buoyancy - Neutral buoyancy skills greatly enhance your comfort and safety during all scuba dives.
