What to expect from SSI Navigation
Navigation training helps you make sense of an underwater route rather than simply following another diver. You work with a compass and natural reference points, then bring those methods into practical dive planning. These skills complement night diving and broader continuing education.
- Use a compass to follow and return along an underwater route.
- Recognise natural features that help you stay oriented.
- Practice estimating distance and planning navigation with a buddy.
