Two training dives from Port de Sóller look at the local ecosystem and the differences between terrestrial and aquatic worlds. Your instructor stays close so each pause on the reef has a reason, not a random hover. 📋 Key Details Duration: 1 day, 2 dives (around 5 hours) Certification: PADI Underwater Naturalist Meeting point: Port de Sóller harbour Start time: Mornings start at 10:00. 🌊 Key Skills Reading the local ecosystem on a Mediterranean reef Noticing how aquatic life differs from what you know on land Moving slowly so animals stay put long enough to watch Identifying common plants and animals on familiar sites Leaving the reef as you found it while you look more closely 🫧 What to Expect You'll start by talking through the local ecosystem and what to look for once the first familiar rock appears. Two supervised dives then put that curiosity in the water, with time to stop, watch and see new things on sites that already feel known, while your instructor points out what is easy to miss. Debriefs between dives look at what was missed on the first pass and how a slower approach changed the picture. The second dive uses those notes on the quieter corners of the same kind of site. Once the knowledge work and both dives are signed off, PADI Underwater Naturalist certification is processed. 📍 Location Reefs off Port de Sóller hold enough life in a compact area that a naturalist day never needs a long steam. The northwest coast keeps the classroom close to the harbour. The boat leaves from the same harbour you brief in. The sheltered bay makes a calm start before you motor out to the practice site. ✅ Prerequisites Open-water comfort is enough, provided you already hold a scuba certification. Steady buoyancy leaves more attention for the life on the reef. Bring an existing certification card and logbook so readiness can be confirmed. Anyone unsure should tell us so we can check before day one. ⭐ Why Choose Us Reefs, caves and open water just outside this bay are the classroom our skippers and instructors actually use. More than thirty years on Mallorca's northwest coast, from a harbour base in Port de Sóller, sit behind that local knowledge. We run a five-star PADI programme of daily boats, guided dives, snorkel trips and courses from beginner to professional, with safety and small groups as the u… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included PADI Underwater Naturalist instruction Two supervised training dives PADI Underwater Naturalist certification processing on successful completion ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point Meals and drinks Personal travel insurance ### Kit list Swimwear, towel and a warm layer for the boat Your existing scuba certification card and logbook A slate if you like to note what you see Sun protection and any personal medication you need ## FAQs ### What will I learn on this course? The local ecosystem, and how the aquatic world differs from the land, sit at the heart of the two dives. Land briefings come first so you know what to look for before the first descent. By the last ascent the aim is to see new things even on a site that already feels familiar, with a calmer, more curious way of moving through the reef. ### How long does the course take? One day, two dives, and around five hours from briefing to last debrief. Morning briefing starts at 10:00 unless another window is agreed. Finish time depends on how the two dives and debriefs run. The shape of the day is confirmed before you arrive. ### Where do we meet? The meeting point is Port de Sóller harbour. Briefing and kit happen here before the boat leaves. Anyone coming from Sóller town or further along the coast should allow time for the harbour road and nearby parking. Arrival notes follow once the place is confirmed. ### Do I need an existing certification? A current scuba certification is the starting point. You should already feel comfortable in open water, and this is not a first dive. Bring a certification card and logbook so previous dives can be checked. Anyone unsure about readiness should tell us so we can check before the first dive. ### What certification do I receive? The PADI Underwater Naturalist certification is issued once the knowledge work and both dives are signed off. The instructor processes the card after that sign-off. The new qualification sits alongside the existing card and is recognised wherever PADI credentials are accepted. ### What should I bring? Swimwear and a towel are the basics, plus a warm boat layer, sun protection, your certification card and logbook. A slate or notebook is welcome if you like to jot what you see. Anything else needed is confirmed before the first morning. Valuables that are not needed in the water are better left at the accommodation. ### What happens if visibility is poor? If the life would be hidden by poor visibility, we move the day rather than going ahead in a stir. Naturalist dives need water you can see. A message goes out as soon as the day has to shift. The two dives can flex to the next settled window. ### How many people will I train with? We keep the group small enough to point out life without a crowd on the same patch of reef. Nobody is rushed past a subject. Groups stay small so the instructor can watch every student. That leaves space to pause on the reef without a crowd. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://media.adventuro.com/public/0ab94617-e665-489d-b045-47d031c83336/9288a7c2-009f-4e27-9033-7a0b91123030/original.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 6 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
