The PADI Underwater Navigation pathway

PADI Underwater Navigator uses eLearning, counts toward Master Scuba Diver, and is a key building block for the Divemaster mapping project; certification is a PADI specialty card.

Where you'll dive in Cancun Cozumel

Navigation is taught on Cozumel's calmer reefs such as Paradise and Cielo (8-20 m), where you can practise patterns without strong current, then apply skills along drift sites like Columbia. Sandy patches between coral heads give clear reference points for distance work.
