Underwater Navigator Diver speciality in Koh Lanta

In addition, being aware of your position and the distance traveled during a dive are huge advantages for the diver! That said, it makes it easier to find wrecks, lost items or reefs and lets you enjoy your dive without worrying about where you are. In other words, you dive serenely.

Topics covered include:

  • Methods for estimating distance underwater.
