The Fun Part

Finding your way underwater is not a matter of luck! When everyone’s buzzing about a reef or checking out a shipwreck, they’re having a great time – until it’s time to go. Then they turn to you, because as an Underwater Navigator, you know the way back to the boat.

What You Learn

Underwater navigation can be challenging, but in the Underwater Navigator Specialty course, you will master the challenge. You will learn the tools of the trade, including navigation via natural clues and by compass.
