The Underwater Navigation dive enhances your compass use, improves your ability to navigate by natural landmarks, and helps you maintain precision through kick cycles and time tracking.
Beyond the two required dives, you will select three additional adventure dives that match your interests. Many students enjoy exploring the famous Wreck Monica, improving buoyancy control, learning to identify Caribbean marine species, mastering boat diving entries, or practicing underwater photography.
