GUE Navigation Primer

My focus

The focus is on planning and running a dive in a way you can repeat.

Autonomous divers should be able to find their way underwater. On the Navigation Primer you learn natural navigation, compass and map navigation and line work, and by the end you draw a map of your own.

Format: 2 days, at least 3 dives, including one in reduced ambient light, for example a night dive.

Prerequisites: GUE Open Water Diver, Performance Diver or Fundamentals, plus at least 15 dives since.
