SPECIALTY DIVER SERIES

Underwater Navigator

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, 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, 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 elective Underwater Navigator dive from the Adventures In Diving program may count toward the certification requirements for this specialty at the instructor's discretion.
