The Navigation Scuba Diving Specialty focuses on developing a diver’s ability to find their way underwater with confidence and accuracy. In this specialty, divers learn how to use a compass effectively, estimate distance, and navigate using natural references such as sunlight, bottom contours, and prominent features.
Training emphasizes practical skills like straight-line navigation, square and circular patterns, and returning precisely to a starting point. Divers also practice combining compass use with natural navigation to maintain orientation even in low visibility or unfamiliar environments.
Overall, the Navigation Specialty enhances situational awareness, reduces stress, and improves safety by helping divers plan and execute dives more efficiently. It is a valuable course for divers who want greater independence, better teamwork underwater, and more enjoyable, well-controlled dives.
