Why PADI Underwater Navigator?

When you're underwater, knowing where you are and where you're going comes in handy, especially if you're looking for that beautiful reef that you've heard all about. The PADI Underwater Navigator Specialty course will help you become a pro at finding your way underwater. There is nothing more embarrassing than leading a dive and getting lost, maybe not finding the reef or the ship wreck :-)

What do I need to start?

• PADI Open Water Diver or Junior Open Water Diver certified (or qualifying certification from another organization).
• Minimum age: 10 years old.

What will I do?

During your PADI Underwater Navigation Specialty course, you'll learn underwater navigation dive procedures, techniques, dive planning, organization and potential problems. You'll also be introduced to natural navigation, underwater patterns (using coral, sand and current patterns as navigation), distance estimation and further your compass navigation skills. You'll put these into practice during your three open water dives.

How long will it take?

• Recommended Course Hours: 12.
• Minimum Open Water Training: three dives over one day.

What will I need?

• Nav-Pak, which includes Nav-Finder, manual, video and log insert. Your Navigation Specialty Instructor will guide you through the course academics.

Where can I go from here?

Your Adventures In Diving Navigation Adventure Dive may count toward your Specialty course at instructor discretion. This Specialty also counts toward your Master Scuba Diver certification.
