When you're underwater, knowing where you are and where you're going comes in handy, especially if you're looking for that beautiful reef, or that boat you left a while ago. The PADI Underwater Navigator Specialty course will help you become more proficent at finding your way underwater.

You need to be an Open Water Diver to start the course. During your PADI Underwater Navigator Specialty course, you'll learn underwater navigation dive procedures, techniques, planning, organization and potential problems. You'll also be introduced to natural navigation, underwater patterns, distance estimation and further your compass navigation skills. You'll put these into practice during your three open water dives.

You will need the Navigator kit, which includes the manual and DVD. Your Advanced Open Water Navigation Dive counts toward your Specialty course.
