PADI Underwater Navigator
Be the scuba diver everyone wants to follow because you know exactly where you are and where you're going.
The PADI Underwater Navigator course fine-tunes your observation skills and teaches you to more accurately use your compass underwater. If you like challenges with big rewards, take this course and have fun finding your way.
WHY SHOULD I DO THIS COURSE?
Being a great navigator is both challenging and rewarding, but It’s easy to get disoriented underwater if you don’t know how to use a compass or natural navigation clues. With the PADI Underwater Navigator course, learn how to easily find your way back to boat or shore without returning to the surface and avoid long, exhausting swims.
WHAT WILL I DO?
During this course, you will learn about the planning, organisation, procedures, techniques, problems and hazards of underwater navigation. You will also learn how to:
Use a dive compass
Navigate making multiple turns
Estimate distance
During your three dives, you will learn:
To build on and improve your navigation skills
To find the dive boat / ascent line without surfacing
Learn to read and understand natural navigational clues
WHAT SCUBA GEAR WILL I USE?
You will need your basic scuba equipment. In addition to this, you will require a torch, a navigation aid such as compass and a grid slate . A reel and marker buoy are provided. Please speak to your instructor if you require any of the above mentioned items for use during this course.
WHAT ARE THE PREREQUISITES FOR THIS COURSE?
Minimum Age: 10

Answering YES to any of the questions on the PADI Medical Statement requires you to get a medical physician to sign the form to confirm your fitness to dive. This is required before any in-water activities.
Please note: you will not be able to take part in any pool or open water sessions without confirming your fitness to dive.
WHAT CAN I DO NEXT?
