It
doesn’t take many open water dives before you realize that knowing where you are
and where you’re going makes a big difference in how much fun you have.
Navigating underwater builds confi dence and puts you in control of your dive
plan, helps you save energy on your dive, makes dive planning more effective,
keeps buddies together, and reduces your air consumption. Whether your fi rst
navigation dive or your hundredth, few moments in diving compare with the
satisfaction and pride you feel when you navigate a distance or specifi c
navigation pattern and hit your mark dead-on. The best way to learn underwater
navigation procedures and to apply them is by doing it.
