PADI Underwater Navigator

2 Days to Complete

 

Navigation underwater can sometimes be easy, if you’re finning along a deep wall, or exploring a well-preserved wreck in clear water. Other times, it can be more challenging if you dive in conditions with reduced visibility, or when the dive follows no distinct direction.

We will teach you how to sharpen your compass skills and navigate underwater using a compass as well as natural references.Being more relaxed in water and being better orientated will help improve the quality of your dive experiences, as well as conserving your air consumption.

Our PADI Underwater Navigator Specialty is a fun course starting with a classroom presentation with your dedicated Instructor and followed by a practical compass navigation session on land, to help you develop the skills and confidence to explore more underwater. You will put these skills to good use during three training open water dives over 2 days. Combined with the PADI Underwater Navigator Manual, you will become much more proficient at navigating underwater, expanding the range of dive sites available to you to safely explore.

Don’t forget, the first dive of this Specialty Course counts towards your PADI Adventure and Advanced Open Water Certification! The full Specialty Course counts towards the elite PADI Master Scuba Diver rating!
