Underwater Navigator

The Underwater Navigator course will teach you the skills needed to determine your location under water and make your dives safer and more enjoyable. Navigation skills help you reduce anxiety, avoid long surface swims, improve your dive plans, avoid buddy separation and conserve air.

To enrol in this course you need to be a PADI Open Water Diver (PADI Junior Open Water Diver or equivalent) and at least 10 years old.

Course includes three open water dives familiarizing yourself with the skills, knowledge, planning, organization, procedures, techniques, problems and hazards of underwater navigation.
procedures and techniques for planning, organizing underwater navigation and problems and hazards associated - methods of estimating distances underwater - natural navigation techniques - how to use underwater patterns - dive site relocation techniques - compass navigation techniques

The course includes;
1 classroom session
3 dives

The core Navigation dive conducted during the PADI Advanced Open Water Course may be credited to the 3 dive requirement but AOW is not a prerequisite.

PADI courses offer the most comprehensive and modern diver training available in the world today.
