So me and a mate are planning a boat dive for cray hunting sometime this or next week. For me, this is a first as I've only ever done shore dives.
However, I'm a little lost to as how you would navigate underwater from diving off a boat. I mean, for shore diving its relatively straightforward; point you point the lubber line to the shore and line up the bezel with N. Whats more, you've got this huuuge chunk of land which is pretty darn hard not to miss.
For me, boat diving doesn't seem as intuitive. You've got this small boat floating in the middle of the sea, in which you can only see the anchor line and the hull if your underwater.
So my question is, how would you go about navigating underwater off a boat dive, especially since we won't always be swimming in a straight line? I've read a few articles from googling, but I'd like to hear some of your feedback as well
