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.
