PADI Underwater Navigation Specialty

Be the scuba diver everyone wants to follow because you know where you are and where you’re going. The PADI Underwater Navigator course fine-tunes your observation skills and teaches you to more accurately use your compass underwater. If you like challenges with big rewards, take this course and have fun finding your way.

If you’re a PADI (Junior) Open Water Diver who is at least 10 years old, you can enroll in the PADI Underwater Navigator Specialty course.

You’ll learn the tools of the trade, including navigation using natural clues and by following compass headings. During three scuba dives, you’ll practice:

• Methods to estimate distance underwater.
• Compass navigation while making at least five turns.
• Marking or relocating a submerged object or position from the surface.
• Underwater map making.

Besides your basic scuba equipment, you’ll need a compass and underwater slate. We highly recommend the Suunto SK8 Compass for this course.

Price includes all tuition, all PADI materials (manual) and the PADI PIC (Licence Card). This course requires four deep dives with multiple navigation challenges under the direct supervision of our professional dive team. Challenges include natural navigation, fixed point navigation and multiple points communicated underwater. It is challenging, requires concentration but is also great fun and satisfying when you get it right.
