Underwater Navigator
It’s easy to get disoriented underwater, but with the right navigation skills, you can be the one your group follows back to the boat. In this specialty course you learn the tools of the trade, including navigation via natural clues and by compass. You learn to estimate distance underwater and follow navigation patterns to get to your destination and back accurately and safely.
