Navigate underwater with confidence and full autonomy, find your way back every time.
Ever wondered how your instructor always finds the way back to the exit or the boat? The SSI Orientation Specialty teaches you to navigate underwater with confidence, safety and full autonomy.

Your day starts with the navigation theory, learning how to use an underwater compass, how to navigate using natural references like sand ripples, rock formations and coral, how to estimate distance underwater and how to use basic navigation patterns like squares, triangles and reciprocal headings. Short, focused and immediately life-changing for your diving.

Your navigation dive puts everything straight into practice in Tenerife's crystal clear Atlantic waters. Armed with your compass you will navigate underwater courses, find your way back to the starting point and use natural references to explore the dive site with complete confidence. By the end of the dive you will never feel lost underwater again, a skill that will make every future dive more relaxed, enjoyable and safe.
It means you always know where you are and where you're going, so you can find your way back, plan better routes, and dive more safely and confidently.
