One of a divers biggest challenges is working out where we are underwater. This challenge is is easy to overcome, as navigation is an easy skill to learn if you receive the appropriated training
Program Structure
Navigation is a practical skill, for that reason we will spend the day diving in putting the theory in use. There are a total of three dives on our Underwater Navigation course. By the end of the day you will surprise yourself with your new found diving skills, as well as your added comfort in the water.
You will need full scuba gear and compass, that can be picked up at the store on the day prior the diving if required. Theory study can be done prior the ocean session via Navigation Diver student Manual, provided upon booking.
