To me, navigation is two things.
It is skill that can be learned or it is an innate ability some people just seem to process.
For me, and I can not explain it, navigation comes easy and I seem to always know where I am and what direction I need to go in order to find what I'm looking for.
My lovely bride just does not have this ability and as such never leads a dive. We do work on the compass skills and if pressed, she can do it if she starts the dive and makes notes as to headings and such.
Many of the buddy's I have used ask if I can navigate and as a result, I end up leading most of the dives. How about you?
