Learning outcomes: Students will gain theoretical knowledge concerning the use of the possibilities of research in the natural underwater environment. Learn about the legal aspects of research submarines, as well as the theory of scuba. Acquire knowledge for carrying out comprehensive biological studies of marine and inland waters of the volatility and succession of the aquatic biocenosis and long-term prognosis with regard to changes in environmental conditions.
Competences: Completion of the course will design and conduct underwater research in the field of biological sciences (hydrobiology, environmental assessment of the aquatic biocenosis). Obtained from the theory of diving, we can advance, practical education towards international level scuba diver (the PADI Scuba Diver Statement).
