Stop relying on your guide and find your own way underwater with the PADI Underwater Navigator specialty in Port Blair. On the reefs around Chidiyatapu you learn compass use, natural navigation and distance estimation so you can locate sites and return to your exit point with confidence. The certification makes you a more independent and useful dive buddy in the Andaman Sea.
PADI Underwater Navigator can be credited as an Adventure Dive toward the Advanced Open Water Diver rating and counts toward Master Scuba Diver. It teaches one of the most practical skills in recreational diving.
Navigation dives use the coral reefs around Chidiyatapu and Port Blair. Calm conditions and good visibility in the December-to-April season make it easier to learn compass work and natural references before applying them on busier or lower-visibility sites.
