SSI Navigation

This program equips you with the essential skills and knowledge needed to confidently navigate underwater during dives. You'll master the use of a compass, employ natural navigation techniques, estimate distances, execute basic navigation patterns, and effectively locate and return to a designated point. Upon successful completion, you'll be awarded the SSI Navigation Specialty certification.

While Open Water Diver training lays the groundwork for underwater navigation, many new divers are satisfied with following their Dive Master's lead. However, possessing navigation skills enhances your comfort and self-assurance during dives. Advanced navigation proficiency empowers you and your dive buddy to navigate the entire dive route independently, from start to finish. Through compass use and environmental observation, you'll develop the navigation prowess necessary to conquer marine environments. Cultivating these skills demands dedication, practice, and hands-on diving experience.
