NAVIGATION
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.
The PADI UW Navigation course consists of the following:
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.
Course structure:
Minimum Open Water Dives : 2 over 1 day
Determine the average number of kick cycles AND average amount of time required to cover a distance of approximately 30 metres/100 feet while swimming underwater at a normal, relaxed pace.
Navigate (without surfacing) to a predetermined location and return to within 6 metres/20 feet of the starting point using a compass and estimated distance measurement (kick cycles or time).
Fix a specific underwater location to be relocated on a future dive, using two permanent sets of landmarks with an angle of at least 60° between them, or using a compass bearing.
