Navigation

Getting lost underwater isn't just inconvenient-it can be dangerous. That's why this navigation certification is essential for divers who want to explore new dive sites, avoid getting lost, and safely return to their starting point. This 3.5-hour specialized course teaches divers how to use a compass and natural navigation techniques to find their way underwater.

You'll master both compass navigation and natural navigation techniques under the guidance of elite professional instructors. The compass work covers fundamental bearing techniques and distance estimation methods. You'll learn to follow natural clues like bottom contours and sunlight as your underwater navigation aids.

The training strikes the perfect balance between classroom theory and real-world application. Thanks to convenient e-learning components, you can absorb the foundational concepts before hitting the water, making your hands-on practice sessions incredibly productive.

The course covers everything from basic compass usage to advanced natural navigation techniques, including underwater compass use, estimating distances, and following natural clues like bottom contours and sunlight.
