In the modern day of GPS and Google maps, compass navigation has become a lost art. But, when we sink beneath the surface, fancy technology can’t help us anymore. The old fashioned ways are just as important as they used to be. Become an expert Underwater Navigator. Embrace your inner explorer and learn how to navigate by compass and landmarks.
In the PADI Underwater Navigator Specialty, you’ll learn how to explore new sites with confidence, discover more of the sites you’ve already seen, and navigate sites you love in low visibility. Whether you frequent the same sites over and over or you’re a world traveler, learning underwater navigation techniques will make you a better diver and better dive buddy.
Explore the world of underwater navigation during three training dives at the Blue Heron Bridge. First, get comfortable navigating by compass. Then, tackle greater navigation challenges as you hone your skills for real-world diving experiences.
