Some divers have the knack of swimming all over the dive site, changing direction at will and always arriving back at their starting point.

Uncanny as it may seem, these divers have all learnt the art of underwater navigation, just as you can in only a few training dives.

Returning to a dive site at the exact point of entry saves long surface swims, increases your underwater enjoyment, and ensures your dive is safer and more enjoyable.

Learning to use a Scuba Sextant will ensure you never get lost. If you happen to wander off during your dive, you can be assured you will be able to find your way back to your starting point with a minimum of fuss.

Using the techniques shown to you during this course, you will arrive back at your start point, at any time you wish during your dive.

You will complete one theory session after reviewing the section on Underwater Navigation in your Adventures in Diving Manual.Compasses are a necessary part of diving equipment and using them correctly is a very big achievement in your diving education.
