Hi guys
I was looking at the UTD website and the different courses and i cant seem to find any mention of underwater navigation. There is no specialty like PADI so i went through the course curriculum for essentials, rec1 rec2 and rec3 and i cant seem to find it (either that or i missed it big time).
When does UTD teach proper underwater navigation, is it part of essentials but just isnt shown on the website?
im very very new and i would like to get to a level where i can dive a so-so familiar dive site without having to use a local guide or DM....right now i just follow like a little puppy hehehe....
and although i know site knowledge will pretty much get me where i want to be, well if i dive the same spot like 100 times id prolly know the location and not need a DM, i would like to learn proper navigation skills.
