Tired of getting lost and disoriented underwater? Having the ability to navigate around a dive site is a vital skill that can not only make you a safer diver but also reduce the risk of a tiring long surface swim back in. Imagine being able to find your way back to the spot where you started the dive and re-visit interesting sites down below that you found on previous dives.
This navigation specialty provides the skills and concepts required to safely and comfortably navigate underwater during a dive. You will learn how to use a compass and natural navigation techniques, estimate distance, basic navigation patterns, and how to leave and return to a designated point. This is a two-dive specialty that is typically completed in one day. You will earn the SSI Navigation Specialty certification after completing this program.
