What to expect
You'll start with theory covering compass use, line-following, and memory techniques for tracking position underwater. Then it's into the water for hands-on practice—navigating set courses, using natural features as waypoints, and building confidence in your directional sense. The four-hour session moves at a comfortable pace, mixing classroom time with actual diving. Expect to surface with concrete skills you can apply on every dive.
Good to know
