Take charge of your own dives with the SSI Navigation specialty in Port Blair and learn to find your way underwater using compass and natural references. On the reefs around Chidiyatapu you practise plotting courses, estimating distance and relocating sites so you can dive with independence and confidence. The certification is one of the most practical add-ons for any diver in the Andaman Sea.
SSI Navigation is delivered through the SSI digital platform and counts toward SSI Advanced Adventurer and specialty recognition. It teaches a core skill that improves nearly every dive you make afterwards.
Navigation dives use the calm reefs around Chidiyatapu and Port Blair. Good visibility in the December-to-April season makes it straightforward to learn compass and natural-reference techniques.
