Underwater Navigation and using a Compass Underwater while scuba diving can be a bit challenging at first, however, it really isn't as hard as some people may think. It can be intimidating, but with a few simple tips I share in this video, you'll be able to use your compass underwater to navigate without any issues. I teach you how to do an out and back reciprocal, as well as make 90-degree turns to navigate a square pattern. I also break down the various types of compasses, such as wrist-mount compasses, console-mounted compasses, digital / computer compasses, and hand-held compasses. While this isn't a replacement for a class like the PADI Underwater Navigation course, I think you'll find it covers a lot of similar information so you'll be ahead of your classmates if you decide to take the Underwater Navigation Speciality Course.

I was so stressed about having to do this for my AOW this week, but honestly not turning the bezel and instead just aligning E/S/W for the 90 degree turns is such a game changer. SO much easier 😵 I don't know why I didn't even think of this before. Thank you!

@CircleHScuba 3 месяца назад

So happy to hear it helped! Let me know how your AOW goes this week!!! You got this! Congrats on furthering your dive education and reply here when you do the navigation portion! This trick saved me SO much time in basic navigation so I'm glad it was an unlock for you 😊

Good show, I like it. January 2024 I passed advanced scuba diving course in Cuba it was with SNSI which is not recognized by PADI in Canada. For underwater navigation I used Perdix it was OK but, when I used compass I can't see other things on display. Next January I'll dive in Dominican Rep in La Romana. It will be with Dresell Divers and I'll take the PADI advanced diver course with them. Today I purchased Suunto SK-8 compass so it will be more handy. Yours video helps to get idea how to use it and understand it. By the way, you have many good tutorial videos. I'm almost 70, but I'm happy from what I'm doing with support form people like you. Thx man.

I’m glad you liked the video and you’re finding them helpful! I love my compass, I think you will too! That is too bad that the course in Cuba wasn’t recognized. Sorry to hear that! It sounds like a great trip coming up though!

You’ve taught more in this video than my instructor taught in both my AOW navigation and search and recovery courses.

@CircleHScuba 10 месяцев назад

I tried to keep it to basics 😅, maybe I covered too much haha. Thank you for the compliment though (I’ll assume it’s good that you learned a lot from the video!)!! You should have definitely learned out and back and square patterns in your AOW Nav course. Your instructor didn’t have you do those? 😱

Where were you diving last week? Any fun trips? Thanks again for commenting, hope to see you in future videos!

@jamesdelosh8099 10 месяцев назад

You shared this information in person with our AOW group last weekend. I couldn't agree more with your comments around digital. I had to recalibrate multiple times and it's a huge pain to read off the wrist(Perdix compass.) Wish I had followed your method the first time. Thank you for making the video!

@CircleHScuba 10 месяцев назад

Hey!!! Good to see you! Yes, digital is just hard to use and you don’t get the bezel “cheats” that I personally love for basic patterns like 90 degree turns, and the digital compass just doesn’t always seem accurate to me for whatever reason. I LOVE my Perdix but that compass, idk haha.

@observingrogue7652 9 месяцев назад

I love compasses. They're the symbol of adventure. And I'm guessing no matter how much the earth's magnetic field changes, even if it flips, this compass you used can still be used to navigate. Like it won't become outdated in a decade or 3. I remember watching a video about plane landing strip numbers. If I remember correctly, the numbers are approximately degrees from magnetic North... And different airports can have the same number on a strip pointing a different direction from another airport, or what a compass currently says, because, not only they may have rounded up or down, but also magnetic North may have changed since that strip or airport was built. It was a CPG Grey video.

@CircleHScuba 9 месяцев назад

Oh wow that’s interesting. I didn’t know that about airstrips and runways. I do enjoy a good compass though for sure!

@ybkseraph 3 месяца назад

Good - But who dives in straight lines or with 90 degree turns and same number of clicks ?

@CircleHScuba 3 месяца назад

That's the skills they have you do for a lot of the navigation specialties for various agencies including the one I'm affiliated with. I'd love to do some advanced nav patterns and such though, anything specific you'd like to see? This one was more so for "basics" and "beginners" that are new to compass nav and just need a few basic concepts down. Hard to make a video that's for everyone so I try to target content based on an audience demographic and sometimes it's useful for more than just "beginners" or "new divers" but other times it may just be for a small group of people (for example I did a video on how to get into cave diving that I don't expect brand new divers necessarily need/care about).

It's great when someone has dropped a piece of gear and you're searching for it......making the square smaller and smaller.

Blue water can be very disorienting and deceiving. Ive been trained in green water and had to surface a few times to get a heading on those blue water dives. Practice practice practice Good vid! DGX sells a really nice handheld compass at a good price with a 30 degree forgiveness on tilt

@CircleHScuba 10 месяцев назад

Haven’t seen you for awhile, happy to have you back! Haha. I totally agree, plain open blue water with no references is disorienting. I’ll check into the Dive Gear Express one!
