Just wondering how folks go about their navigation...
My diving is often in 4-5m vis salt water. Shore and boat. I'm UK based, BSAC club member.
I have an old Suunto SK something, handheld, and use my computer to time the legs. Mostly I'm returning within 10-20m of shore entry point after an hour's dive and sometimes absolutely spot on, which I must confess pleases me greatly. Boat dives I'm usually shooting an SMB rather than returning to a buoy.
Obviously I'll use the terrain as reference and features like sand ripples as guidelines. Just wondering what else others do?
Thanks!
