Underwater Navigator Course

Compass

The Underwater Navigator course builds on the navigation skills you acquire as part of the Open Water Diver course. It provides an introduction to:

  • Complex compass patterns.
  • Mapmaking.
  • Using navigation in conjunction with other specialty activities.

These skills are valuable in a variety of diving situations — and are ones that every serious diver should have.
