My navigation problems occur due to the following:
1. Vis decreases during dive.
2. Current changes or varies in intensity.
3. My mistake in identifying a natural object. For example, a large, and I think unique sponge, only to discover that an identical sponge is lurking 30 feet away.
All of these are operator error, but I have learned not to bumble around when I get that I ain't so sure feeling. If possible, I surface (allowing the obligatory safety stop)to locate the boat, and if I have enough time to return to the bottom, I do.
