Underwater Navigation 

During the training you will learn and practice several methods of dive planning and underwater navigation. You will learn to choose the best method for the prevailing conditions and, most importantly, to plan the entire dive correctly. During the training you will practice methods of underwater navigation in changing conditions and visibility.

However, before jumping into the water, you will practice all the techniques on land to thoroughly understand their principles. Under water, everything will be more difficult, so you will repeatedly practice tasks to get to perfection.

What will I learn in this course?

The PADI Underwater Navigator course begins with a theoretical section that describes the techniques you will practice underwater. In the next stage, the isntructor will demonstrate these techniques to you on land, and you will practice them before entering the water. The next part consists of four open-water dives, during which you will practice navigating a variety of terrain and conditions. At the end of the course, each student will plan and conduct his or her own dive based on the navigation techniques learned.

What equipment will I be using on this course?

During this diving course you will use the standard diving equipment that you already know from the basic course. A compass and a slate for taking notes will be essential, of course.

Where will I dive during this PADI course?

Depending on current availability and ocean conditions, we always try to select the best locations for training. An exact schedule will be provided when you sign up for the course, but if you have any questions, please contact our office. We usually try to have our dives done on Isla del Cano.
