Being able to navigate underwater effectively benefits divers in every aspect of the dive, from reducing confusion, reducing physical effort, conserving air to making sure that you don’t miss that special feature you are searching for.

    Our PADI Underwater Navigation specialty helps divers to utilise natural references, landmarks and also compass patterns for effective navigation.  You can immerse yourself in navigating a predetermined course, measuring distance with elapsed time and fin kicks and practice using underwater objects to guide you back to your starting point.
