The National Geographic Portal will help you take your dive experiences to a new level. How? You’ll learn more about the world’s oceans and waterways and discover details that will enhance your personal dive adventures.

During the National Geographic Portal, you’ll take your exploration skills to an advanced level by collecting data to construct a visual representation of what you explored. This project may result in a map, graph, sketch, diagram, photo essay or video. You and your instructor will decide on your area of focus and plan your dive accordingly. You’ll also gain navigational skills that will aid in the exploration process. Your exploration skills will give you a new appreciation for the aquatic environment and add enjoyment to each dive. You’ll find yourself sharing your discoveries with other divers and becoming a true underwater ambassador.

Whether you are a certified PADI Diver or certified by another organization, you can take advantage of the National Geographic Portal. The National Geographic Portal consists of a knowledge review based on information from the National Geographic Diver Almanac and DVD. In addition, you'll fine-tune your buoyancy, navigation, exploration, and observation skills while on an open water dive.

Your National Geographic Portal program will include the National Geographic Portal Crew-Pak. In addition remember that we teach all of our diver level courses always in small groups to ensure the best education.
