During your PADI Underwater Navigation specialty you will learn to use natural clues to navigate, and practice methods to estimate distance underwater. You will also practice compass navigation while making multiple turns simulating a real dive route. As well as marking or relocating a submerged object or position from the surface and underwater map making. The final dive of this specialty is great fun for you and your instructor.
