The PADI Underwater Navigation pathway

PADI Underwater Navigator is a specialty that counts toward the Master Scuba Diver rating, and the first navigation dive can credit toward Advanced Open Water. It builds the navigation foundation needed for Rescue and leadership training.

Where you'll dive in Komodo

Navigation skills are practised at park sites with clear reef contours and predictable currents, where learning to account for set and drift is a genuinely useful Komodo-specific skill during the April-to-November season.
