The PADI Underwater Navigation pathway

PADI Underwater Navigator uses PADI Touch eLearning and three dives, and counts toward Advanced Open Water and Master Scuba Diver with a PADI card.

Where you'll dive in Neil Island

Navigation training uses Neil's gently sloping reefs such as Coral Safari (5-20 m) and Nemo Reef (5-12 m), where sandy lanes and coral heads provide clear natural references. November-May visibility and 27-30C water make compass work easy to learn.
