The PADI Underwater Navigator specialty sharpens your ability to find your way on the reefs of Baa Atoll in the Maldives, a valuable skill on the atoll's channels and large reef systems near Dharavandhoo. Across three dives you master compass use, natural navigation and distance estimation to dive with confidence and independence.
PADI Underwater Navigator is a popular specialty that also satisfies the navigation adventure dive credit toward Advanced Open Water and can count toward the Master Scuba Diver rating.
Navigation dives use the broad reefs and channels around Dharavandhoo in Baa Atoll, where reef contours, sandy patches and mild currents provide ideal features for practising both compass and natural navigation.
