Knowing where you are underwater and where you're going comes in real handy,
especially if you're looking for an object or locating that beautiful reef that
you heard about. If you're a PADI Open Water Diver (PADI Junior Open Water Diver
or equivalent) and at least 10 years of age, then this program is for you.
During your PADI Underwater Navigator program you'll go on three open water
dives familiarizing yourself with the skills, knowledge, planning, organization,
procedures, techniques, problems, hazards and enjoyment of underwater navigation.
You learn:
- procedures and techniques for planning and organizing underwater navigation
and the associated problems and hazards;
- methods of estimating distances underwater;
- natural navigation techniques;
- how to use underwater patterns;
- dive site relocation techniques; and
- compass navigation techniques;
The elective Navigation dive conducted during your Adventures In Diving program
may count toward this specialty at the discretion of the instructor.
To sign up for this specialty, stop by Sharky's Scuba and ask us for the details.
